I'm a product manager and designer studying at Carnegie Mellon. I work at the intersection of AI, product, and research — most interested in what happens when systems designed for experts end up in front of everyone else.
Three things run through most of my work: finding the real problem under the stated one, designing AI that people can trust and correct, and meeting non-experts where they actually are.
Experience
Redesigned how teams request AI work — from a confusing form to a cited chatbot to a centralized platform with an intake agent. Ran a gamified workshop that produced the AI reuse roadmap, presented to senior leadership.
Zero-to-one AI HR product for a startup founder. Feature prioritization from scratch, core screen design, front-end build, and pitch assembly. The chatbot was designed into every mockup and built in none of them — the prototype proved the vision without the most expensive part.
Led a team of four building a bias-awareness companion for AI design tools. Users don't look for bias while generating, so Halo comes to them: a Setup step, a Nudge before generation, a Flag after. Presented at the UCRE research showcase.
Created the org's visual identity, ran social media and campus marketing, and built a temporary website. Logo designed from the start to feel inclusive — no pink, no single silhouette.
Diagnosed why coach recruitment wasn't working: the posters sold low time commitment, but coaches stay for the girls. Redesigned the materials around the actual motivator.
Pitched a product strategy for Depop to PNC leaders and CMU Tepper faculty: in-person pop-up events integrated into the app, all transactions on-platform. The real design challenge was keeping sales from leaving Depop entirely.
Hired to fix the interface of a VR therapy platform at an addiction recovery house. Found that patients had stopped finding anything worth watching. Rebuilt the content experience around what actually mattered to them.
Two years building the club's visual identity: logo, mascots, event graphics, and the website for CMU's first Poker AI competition, backed by Jane Street, HRT, and Jump Trading. The 2025 board built directly on the site.
