Designing digital safe spaces for connection and growth

I craft community-oriented products grounded in trust, safety, and collaboration with engineering teams to build meaningful, human-centered experiences.

Community Product Design

Platforms that foster connection and participation where trust, inclusion, and creativity grow.

Research-driven frameworks for healthy interaction that support safety, fairness, and transparency.

How I Build

People First

Every product begins with people—their needs, their stories, their communities. I design with intention to create spaces that foster connection, belonging, and trust.

Collaborative by Design

I work side by side with engineers and stakeholders to translate ideas into scalable, safe, and human-centered products. My process is hands-on, iterative, and grounded in shared learning.

Built on Empathy

Design, to me, is a conversation—between technology and people, between teams and communities. I aim to build products that don’t just function well but help communities thrive.
