Product Designer who takes products from problem definition to shipped, working software — independently. M.S. in User Experience (GPA 4.0), backed by seven years in marketing and co-founding a studio — grounding design decisions in real commercial trade-offs. I turn ambiguous, data-heavy problems into intuitive products and use an AI-assisted build process to ship and validate them — not just hand off mockups.
- — Translated a founder's abstract concept into a complete, validated product experience from zero existing material — designing the core flow where users upload mixed-format files and see them rendered as a clean, scannable table inside the product.
- — Delivered designs via a Git repo plus a clickable demo, sharply cutting engineering build time and eliminating back-and-forth over UI details — reducing handoff friction.
- — Helped advance the product to acceptance into the AI2 Incubator (currently in active development).
- — Defined the product's editor UI from the ground up — the AI LaTeX tool previously had no editor interface — establishing the core editing experience the product is built around.
- — Built and maintained a scalable component library to keep the new interface consistent as it grew, reducing engineering handoff friction.
- — Led a full redesign of afghanhealth.org, restructuring the information architecture so a first-time visitor immediately understands what the organization does — replacing a cluttered layout with a clean, focused experience.
- — Ran user research and usability testing with a diverse participant pool, feeding findings back into design iterations.
- — Designed and prototyped the resulting flows in Figma as a remote intern, contributing to the product's UX direction.

Independently designed a navigation tool for first-generation immigrants — owning the full process from user research and product strategy through UX and visual design.
Designed a community safety web app integrating real-time alerts, focusing on intuitive user flows during high-stress edge cases and system constraints.
Applied user-centered thinking to optimize end-to-end service workflows. Managed complex logistics for international events and oversaw digital marketing strategies to drive user acquisition.
