Research &
Product Work
Human–building interactionConnecting behavioral evidence, data, field observation, prototypes, and communication across technical teams.

Researcher, builder, and student of systems—human and otherwise.
I move between research labs, product rooms, and lived experience, asking how technology can understand people more carefully—and help them act with greater clarity.
