I’m a designer with a background in Art History — trained to look closely, read carefully, and ask why something was made the way it was.

My graduate research examined how objects and institutions carry memory, and how care and resistance accumulate in unexpected places. Writing a thesis and organizing a graduate conference on empathy, I came to see UX as a natural continuation of that work — a different medium with the same underlying questions.

The methods transferred. I approach product design the way I approached research: close reading, structured inquiry, attention to the gap between what someone says they want and what they actually need. I’m drawn to work where that kind of care shapes decisions, not just describes them.
