👋🏾 Greetings and salutations
My website is a simple place to showcase design, photography, and passion projects.
🎨 Experience Design
I’m a UX designer with 15 years of industry experience. But I’ve been human-centered before UX was a thing.
Design, for me, is all about solving problems at their core. I love breaking down the assumptions behind a challenge and really digging into what’s driving it. What excites me the most is building a deep, genuine understanding of the people involved. Lately, I’ve been diving into user behavior, using qualitative testing to get insights straight from the source.
My background in software engineering has been a great asset when it comes to designing and building interactive prototypes. I earned my master’s degree in Human-Computer Interaction from Georgia Tech and my bachelor’s in Information Systems from Stony Brook University. I’m currently experimenting with AI to build the next generation of products and services
“We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity; more than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.” Charlie Chaplin, 1940
1. 2019. Johannesburg, South Africa. I spoke at the ID4Africa 2019 conference about foundational ID systems within agriculture products.
Public speaking has been such a powerful tool in my personal and professional growth. It’s helped me communicate ideas clearly and connect with others in a way that sparks real conversations. Being able to share my thoughts confidently has opened doors and opportunities I never expected. I truly believe that mastering public speaking can transform how we present ourselves and our ideas to the world.
2. 2022. NYC. I spoke on an IxDA panel at Mastercard’s NYC Tech Hub.
