About Me

I became a product designer because of my deep passion for problem-solving and storytelling. My journey into UX might seem unexpected, but it was a natural transition from my background in film production. As a producer, I thrived on crafting impactful stories and solving problems on set every day. However, I yearned to tackle real-world challenges, and I found the perfect balance in UX.

About Me

Excitement in thinking beyond the box

I get excited about infusing new ideas into products. Especially in AI design, I aim to add uniqueness and personality, always with a focus on real business impact.

Evidence-driven Design

User research is not formulaic. Even with time and budget constraints, I find creative ways to inform my design decisions. For IngrediCheck, for instance, I analyzed competitors' app store reviews to uncover valuable user insights.

Embrace collaboration and stay humble

Whether working with cross-functional teams or fellow designers, I keep conversations open, continuously sharing my process and seeking input to ensure alignment and refinement.

My life in 3
buckets

Music / Photography

Catch me at the show in the mosh pit or the photo pit. I've shot hundreds of concerts –my fav being Foo Fighters, The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, and Childish Gambino.

Basketball / Culture

They don’t call me Jumper for no reason. Well, it’s because it’s my last name. But I also love playing + watching basketball. Raptors 4 ever.

Health / Travel

I only group these together because they have one thing in common: I can’t sit still for too long – the gym and the airport are both calling me.
