Design Approach

As an adaptable designer, I apply a human-centered approach to design meaningful, holistic and relevant services, products and strategies that put people first. Using an evidence-driven approach I strive to understand the human experience and navigate ambiguity to design with people, users and providers, in the center.

My work spans across a broad spectrum of design disciplines including Service Design, Design Research, Speculative Design and Strategic Design. I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with diverse teams across United States, Europe and Latin America to answer challenges and deliver solutions for a number of clients including Coca-Cola, Pearson Education, Logitech G, and Disney Imagineers.
