I’m an experience researcher and designer based in the Washington, DC/Baltimore region. I create thoughtful, human-centered experiences that consider not only how people interact with technology but also how they move through space, connect with one another, and coexist with the world around them. My work through TerraUXR reflects the belief that good design begins with genuine care for people, systems, and environments.

I’ve worked across industries including large corporations, nonprofits, small startups, and public libraries, and each setting has shaped how I understand design’s role in social and environmental impact. Before stepping fully into research and strategy, I also spent several years as an animal care specialist and park naturalist. That time deepened my appreciation for observation, behavioral nuance, and the quiet intelligence of other species. These lessons continue to influence how I study human behavior and design for empathy, equity, and shared wellbeing.

At the heart of my practice is curiosity. Whether I’m exploring spatial design, animal psychology, social equity, or the evolving patterns of human behavior, I carry the same question into every project: how can design help living systems, human and otherwise, thrive together?
