Turning Complexity into Simplicity

I'm an empathy-driven designer based in San Francisco, specializing in turning complex problems into clear, human-centered solutions. As Head of Design at TeachMeMedical, I make medical data accessible for diverse users. With skills in product design, HTML/CSS, GitHub, and AI-powered tools, I bridge design and technology to deliver meaningful impact.

Where my design journey began

My journey into design began in an unexpected place: the classroom. As a creative director working with children, I noticed that even the simplest toys, furniture, and systems often failed to meet the needs of the people they were meant for—the kids, teachers, and caregivers. That sparked a deep curiosity in me. I began observing, listening, and prototyping, determined to understand frustrations at their root and create solutions that truly worked.

This experience taught me that design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about solving real problems with empathy and creativity. My path took me from industrial design, where I learned how to bring 3D products to life, to my true calling in product design.

Collaboration at the Core

Today, I lead design at TeachMeMedical, where I focus on making complex medical data accessible and easy to understand. Previously, at IPMD, I helped create innovative emotional-intelligence tools and products that blended technology with human experience. In all my work, I’m guided by one principle: design with people at the center. My passion lies in bridging technology, education, and human needs to create solutions that are not only functional, but deeply meaningful.

Why Me?

The designer I am today is shaped by that early classroom experience. Working with children taught me to listen deeply, meet people where they are, and design with empathy. These skills continue to guide me—helping me uncover the problems worth solving and pushing me to explore new possibilities at the intersection of people, technology, and business.

When I am not working on design tinkering, I love to explore nature with my silly dog, Cosmos 🐶, dream about my next travel destination ✈️, and wander around museums 🖼️.
