this is how I got here, from Fashion Design to building AI Products.
I'm an artist first. Everything else I do is built on top of it.

My background includes a MS and a BA which makes me look at design & art holistically. I moved from fashion to UX — I realized systems across products, content, information need to be as cohesive as a garment. Turns out form and function are inseparable in both. My mixed-methods background finally makes sense :)

Between building copalm.ai & Healthwise, I was a product design fellow at Handshake AI, training models and learning what good output looks like from the inside.

Prior to that was Branding and eCommerce - 2 years at Transformative Ventures building systems that served 800k people, with visual design before that at esoverse. One redesign there drove $1.2M; another flopped because I skipped the research. That's where research-before-assuming became how I work.

I design for the long term, and I stay close enough to the problem to let it keep surprising me.
