I specialize in mixed-methods research, iterative prototyping, and graphic communication. A hands-on maker and thinker, my graduate degree in product design and background in contemporary ceramics equip me with powerful creative problem-solving, practical execution, and verbal communication skills. I'm highly curious, empathetic, and civic-minded, and have demonstrated a commitment to go the extra mile to meet the highest standards in my work. I've been lucky to have friends and colleagues describe me as multi-talented, determined, and outspoken, and I pride myself on being a lover of language & culture and a strong analytical thinker.
