About
I'm a healthcare & MedTech-first product designer with 6+ years across UX, UI and Industrial Design Engineering. My work spans clinical wearables, SaMD platforms, surgical instruments and enterprise healthcare software — designing both the screen and the device when it matters.
I hold a Master's in Human-Computer Interaction and currently work on AI-native product experiences and accessibility-first platforms inside a stealth healthcare startup. I care about calm interfaces, evidence-driven decisions, and systems that scale without losing their humanity.
