Designing nuanced workflows in highly specialized domains.
I lead product + design for an enterprise platform modernizing the credit ratings workflow @Moody's.
I’m a systems thinker who loves finding the spark in a web of constraints.
These days, my default is running five terminals alongside VSCode and Figma — using AI to prototype, document, read codebases, write Jira stories, build internal tools, make presentations, or just… argue about a button.
- Designed a desktop app for running local LLMs as the sole designer @Privoce
- Defined insight-led innovation strategies @IDEO
- Localized international user research @UX Spot
- I studied creative coding in undergrad. That's where I started experimenting with code as a material for building ideas.
- I've lived in five cities across two continents in the past ten years — Shanghai, Abu Dhabi, New York, Ann Arbor, and now Charlotte. It taught me how to see from different perspectives and find common ground.
