About Me

My path started in the arts and led through rigorous scientific training. A BFA from CalArts taught me to observe and empathize; an MSc in HCI from DePaul gave me the methods to turn those observations into evidence. Together, they shape how I approach every usability challenge.

With 5+ years of experience, I've worked at Insulet Corporation, Johnson & Johnson MedTech, Sony, Apple, and Samsung. Currently, I contribute to formative studies and root cause analyses for the Omnipod insulin delivery system—technology that improves the daily lives of hundreds of thousands of patients with diabetes.

My path was unconventional: a BFA from CalArts taught me to see through users' eyes, and an MSc in HCI from DePaul gave me the scientific foundation to validate what I observe. Now I apply both to life-critical medical devices—where empathy isn't optional, it's essential.

I believe the best Human Factors work happens when engineering, design, and clinical teams share a common language. My role is to help build that shared understanding—translating user needs into terms every stakeholder can act on.
