Staff UX Designer/ Researcher specializing in digital anthropology and ethnographic methods, with 13+ years designing and researching digital products across global companies.

I transform cultural insights into strategic product decisions through rigorous qualitative research, helping organizations build human-centered solutions that resonate across diverse markets.

My design background gives me a unique perspective: I understand not just what users need, but how to translate research insights into actionable design and engineering solutions that teams can actually implement.
