Human Factors Engineer
I see what others miss in medical device design
My journey from artist to UX researcher to Human Factors Engineer taught me to see through users' eyes. Now I apply that empathy to life-critical healthcare technology—where understanding users isn't just good design, it's patient safety.
A Rare Combination
Most Human Factors Engineers come from engineering or psychology. I came from California Institute of the Arts—then earned my MSc in Human-Computer Interaction from DePaul University. This gives me something most engineers don't have: the ability to think like a designer and a scientist.

Let's make healthcare technology more human
Every usability improvement in a medical device is a patient who can focus on living their life, not struggling with their treatment. I'd love to help your team create that experience.
