I am a strategic design researcher and visual storyteller who combines rigorous research methodologies with compelling storytelling to uncover meaningful insights. With a background bridging anthropology and video production, complemented by a master's degree in design strategy, I bring a unique lens to understanding complex human experiences.
My strengths lie in navigating ambiguity, identifying patterns in behavioral and attitudinal data, translating insights across stakeholders, and crafting compelling narratives that drive action. My anthropological training informs my holistic, people-centered approach to research, while my experience in video production enhances my ability to communicate insights in ways that resonate and inspire change.
Mostly, I am driven by genuine curiosity about people and the systems that shape their experiences. I've lived in Japan, Iran, Guatemala, and Samoa, experiences that have deepened my appreciation for cross-cultural perspectives in research.
