Based in Brooklyn, NYC
CULTURAL EXCHANGE ENTHUSIAST, TRAVELER, PURSUER-OF-QUESTIONS-NOT-PATHS
My goal: combine my strategic design and facilitation skills to co-create solutions that empower us all.
As a daughter-of-immigrants-turned-ethnographer, I developed a unique perspective for understanding ideas through their cultural contexts — a foundation that informs all my design work today.
Over the past 5+ years, I've leveraged this human-centered approach to create impactful digital products and services through end-to-end UX/UI design, strategic research, and collaborative facilitation.
My expertise spans designing inclusive financial platforms for underserved communities, facilitating cross-cultural workshops that transform stakeholder insights into actionable solutions, and leading design systems implementation across complex products.
My sweet spot: bridging high-level product strategy with on-the-ground user needs, while guiding cross-functional teams through the design thinking process. Whether I'm crafting a fintech interface or facilitating a service design workshop, I'm passionate about creating experiences that truly serve people where they are.

when I'm not designing, you can find me…
Summiting peaks and crossing valleys in my trusty Tevas
Facilitating dialogues for people in the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and Africa
Planning my next cross-hemisphere trip (next up: Patagonia?)
Randomly appearing on your next global news channel… :)
