What I do

Research. Design. Build. 

Research & Insight

If you are curious about learning, communication, or motivation, I can provide research-based perspectives shaped by work with AI tutors, AR/VR wellness, and digital service design.

Design & Systems

An effective design process connects ideas with people. I translate complex challenges into structured prototypes that are functional, engaging, and inclusive.

Build & Experiment

If you are looking for ideas that move into practice, I can deliver. I develop applications and prototypes, refining them through iteration and testing.
