I lead design and research projects that translate what's technically possible into products people live intimately with. My curiosity and pleasure to explore how people, bodies, and technologies evolve together runs through everything I do.
My work moves between research, design, and strategy, often in the same engagement. I lead with questions, build to learn, and translate across the boundaries. In Verse's projects, we move between clinical and technical, business goals and lived experience, and between what the data says and what people feel.
I approach this work with humility and curiosity, trusting intuition alongside evidence, and drawing on embodied understanding of what it means to live with a chronic condition. Collaboration is central and the best solutions emerge when clinical, technical, and lived perspectives are genuinely in the room together.
The clients I work with are usually innovators themselves, with a vision they want to validate and bring to life. We work collaboratively and strategically to answer the highest-priority questions at the right time.
