As a multi-disciplinary Interaction Designer, my scholastic research and professional focus is on creating systems and electronic interfaces that are both effective and efficient.

Having majored in Computer Science and Psychology, I bring a breadth of knowledge in people and technology as well as a passion for business, design, and innovation.
