I research why systems fail people - then design them to be trustworthy, ethical, and human.

[ About Me ]

Get in Touch ↗

Innovative UX Researcher blending 7+ years of spatial design experience with product research and human-computer interaction. I started in architecture and interior design - drawn to how spaces shape the way people feel, trust, and behave. Now I apply that same spatial thinking to digital systems: how does design shape trust, autonomy, and ethical behavior?

At DePaul University, I bridge operational execution with academic rigour - researching ethical AI, dark patterns, and accessible design across mixed-methods frameworks. I design purposeful, user-friendly solutions that ensure technology aligns with human needs and safety, always asking whether the system is working for people, or against them.
