As a Design Director at Avela Experience Design, I bring over 8 years of expertise in developing end-to-end user experiences and digital product designs across healthcare digital solutions, SaaS technologies, and medical device development. With a focus on user-centered design strategy and elegant interactive design, I strive to elevate user experiences and improve people's quality of life around the world through healthcare digital innovation.

My core values include providing equal access to information and digital experiences for all people. I balance my work with community outreach projects which contribute to my vision as an empathetic designer. My experiences working at a pharmacy during pre-medical studies and volunteering at the American Cancer Society inspire me to creatively integrate empathy into technology to help improve people's quality of life. 

In my free time, I enjoy researching new emerging technologies related to interactive media which guides my creative endeavor. Documenting design processes is an important part of my work, as human-centered design is a creative process in itself. In my work, I seek to create accessible designs that incorporate empathy while applying human-centered principles and increase the adoption of high-value technologies.
