I spent 15 years listening.

Now I’m designing from what I heard.

This depth is what gives me edge.

Bringing advanced insight to UX research

I am a retired art psychotherapist, with 15+ years of experience synthesizing data about human emotions, behaviors, desires, and fears, then making plans and taking action based on the results. Therefore, I come to UX uniquely suited for humanity-centered design. These finely-tuned art therapy skills translate easily from the therapy room to the UX team.

Hearing what
isn't said

becomes

Surfacing unspoken user needs

Tracking client patterns

becomes

Synthesizing research into systems

Containment under pressure

becomes

Holding tension in stakeholder rooms

Using what's brought

becomes

Designing for real, not ideal, users

I aim to work with teams who understand that the deepest insights come from genuine attention to how people actually think and feel.
