With a deep curiosity, I turn complex problems into user-friendly solutions. Leading UX research and design in digital health, B2B, publishing, sustainability, and IT, I've been driven by a core principle: innovation should promote wellbeing and connection. I strive for long-term value, beyond reactionary solutions that erode trust. In my research, I blend qualitative and quantitative methods. My background in computer science, HCI, and sociology provides a nuanced perspective on human experience, innovation, and teamwork. Working with product, engineering, marketing, customer insights, and design, I lead with a calm and collaborative spirit, guiding cross-functional teams toward impactful solutions and strategies. I see great business potential in creating a symbiotic relationship with customers and communities. Achieving this integrates our collective aspirations: business growth, collaboration, discovery, authentic expression, and care. With the right approach, organizations can innovate to create mutual value – people need this, businesses need this, and the planet needs this. In my own time, I explore the philosophy of design and innovation, seeking practical approaches that benefit communities and organizations alike.
