About

Advancing Human-Centered AI Research

Dancing Towards the Future

I’m passionate about embracing new technologies, especially AI, to enhance products through research. I have experience leveraging AI within the product ecosystem and I thrive on incorporating cutting-edge tools to create better, more human-centered products. Change excites me, and I welcome innovation with open arms. My curiosity fuels constant learning.

Unicorns are REAL

As an aspiring polymath, I bring a versatile set of tools to every challenge. With formal training in everything from AI-driven research and design psychology to hands-on user journey maps and business strategy. My approach blends scientific rigor with creative flair. I produce insights that make sense.

DaVinci was Right

Leonardo was right: everything in this universe is interconnected! Inspired by Leonardo since childhood, I’ve shaped my life in a polymathic style. With five degrees spanning business, design, science, human-computer interaction, and a PhD candidacy in cognitive psychology, this interdisciplinary journey fuels my passion for crafting exceptional UX and product experiences… and I still love design, a lot!
