Work.

Connected Chillers Dashboard

I designed a remote diagnostics dashboard that helped chiller engineers monitor, troubleshoot, and maintain critical equipment across distributed customer sites. This reduced downtime, enabled faster responses without requiring on-site visits, and improved diagnostic efficiency by 44%.

Vibration Diagnostics

Improving Mobile UX for Chiller Data Collection
I redesigned a mobile app used by field technicians to collect chiller vibration data, streamlining workflows and preventing data loss in low-signal areas. The update improved collection efficiency by 30% and reduced user frustration from errors and lost entries.

My Philosophy

Prioritize understanding

I believe that thoroughly understanding the problem space before designing is critical to delivering an exceptional user experience. I want to know the core business issues and user challenges that need to be addressed so time isn’t wasted solving the wrong problems.

Collaborative mindset

Design doesn't exist in a vacuum, and neither does my approach. I actively seek feedback from my team, the users I design for, and business stakeholders. Their insights not only enhance the solutions I create but also contribute to my continuous growth and skill refinement.

Passion for continuous learning

I am humble and understand that I don’t have the answers to everything. My passion for design motivates my continual learning by actively pursuing opportunities to enhance my skills. Through a variety of resources such as books, videos, courses and trainings from industry peers and leaders, my commitment to personal and professional development as a designer ensures my work remains fresh and innovative.

About.

I’m a Product Designer focused on creating digital experiences that are both highly functional and visually engaging. I understand that successful design requires balancing user needs with business objectives, and I take both into careful consideration when crafting solutions.

My mission is to translate these insights into intuitive designs that solve core challenges and drive business impact.
