My Approach
Start with empathy

Always begin with a deep understanding of users and their challenges to create designs that truly address real needs

Embrace collaboration

Diverse perspectives and cross-functional teamwork are crucial to overcoming blind spots and building innovative solutions

Think holistically

Great design bridges user needs with business goals to create solutions that are impactful and built to last

Design for inclusion

Prioritize accessibility and trauma-informed design practices to create products where everyone feels seen, safe, and supported

My Origin Story

Losing my best friend to suicide and navigating my own mental health challenges and neurodivergence sparked a deep passion for designing mental health products that make people feel seen and supported. Over the past three years, I’ve channeled this passion into action, crafting human-centered designs that drive meaningful change for mental health startups and personal passion projects.
