Professional profile

I design digital interfaces and physical products using research, interaction design, prototyping and testing. At Oracle Health, my work focuses on clinical interfaces for physicians and nurses.

My background in engineering, industrial design, teaching and research brings a broad perspective to the design process.

Additional background

My academic background spans mechatronic engineering, industrial design and a PhD in Materials Science. My doctoral work explored healthcare solutions through a user-experience lens. Further study in graphic design, UX research, UI and interaction design adds to that multidisciplinary perspective.

Teaching and mentoring are part of my design practice. I have developed learning experiences that connect conceptualization, prototyping, user testing and iteration; worked with training partners and industry professionals; and presented research at international conferences. As Director of the Design Program from 2021 to 2024, I connected student needs, design education and industry perspectives.

My background also includes product development and entrepreneurship through Sky Render.
