WHO I AM
I'm a researcher who thinks too much and makes things with her hands. I came up through Interaction Design, picked up data science along the way, and somewhere in between developed a habit of building things just to see if I could. That combination, analytical to a fault, creatively wired, pulled me toward digital health. Because that's a space where thinking deeply and caring deeply are both requirements, not liabilities.
WHO I AM
I want to do research where the stakes match the effort I already put into everything.

WHAT DRIVES ME

Curious by default
Curious by default
I ask why before I ask how. I dig past the surface findings to the structure underneath it. The right questions are always the most important part of the research.

Inclusive by design
Inclusive by design
The people most affected by broken systems are rarely consulted when building better ones. I research and design with that gap in mind, drawn to work that serves communities typically excluded from products that shape their lives.

Gamification as a lens
Gamification as a lens
Feedback loops and reward moments aren't just game design. They're the difference between a health app someone opens twice and one that actually changes behavior. I think about engagement as a design problem.

Strategic and sharp
Strategic and sharp
I back decisions with data and I know the difference between an insight and a finding. I move fast when it matters and slow when I need to. Good strategy is just research with a point of view.

BEYOND THE WORK
⬡
Artist
Watercolor, ceramics, life sketching. Making things with my hands is how I decompress between datasets.

Walkable Cities
I judge a neighborhood by whether I can walk to a good bakery. Current order: dunkle Brötchen, lots of butter.
◎
Language Learning
I taught myself Spanish through dubbed animation and I'm doing the same with German. I also learned Japanese as a kid.

Hackathons
Sometimes I get an idea and I just have to build it. Sometimes it's good. Sometimes it absolutely is not.
Let's work on something
