welcome 

 who I am & what I do

I am a design engineer and educator passionate about transformative design. I believe design has the power to create positive change. ​​​

​

My work focuses on human-centered design, emphasizing early-stage strategies that drive sustainable and desirable outcomes. I envision the future of engineering design at the interface between technology, people, and society

 

I am interested in formulating design methods and frameworks that integrate design, human factors, and systems, resulting in systems and products that optimize human well-being and system performance.​
