Projects
Research and design work across healthcare, finance, and responsible AI — each one starts with a question and ends in a decision.
Six years in architecture, first
I led residential and commercial projects before moving into UX. It is the reason I work the way I do.
Ambiguity, early
Architecture projects start with a brief that contradicts itself. So does most research. I'm comfortable defining the problem before there's a method for it.
Stakeholders who disagree
Clients, contractors, and consultants rarely want the same thing. Aligning them on a $250K build is the same skill as aligning PMs and engineers on what to ship.
Constraints as inputs
Budget, code, structure, timeline — a building is a systems problem with real consequences. I read products the same way: flows, edge cases, and everything downstream.
Research that ships
Six years of drawings that had to get built means I don't stop at findings. Research earns its keep when it changes a decision someone was about to make.
