I'm currently leading research on the banking team at Affirm, where we’re focused on shaping financial futures. As a researcher, my goal is to empower people through informed design, which means solving real problems and fostering genuine growth.

I have a deep appreciation for good design, from digital experiences to physical spaces. ln addition to design, I’m passionate about things such as poetry, sculpture, Muay Thai and the great outdoors! On any given day you might catch me seeking inspiration at the Noguchi Museum, indulging my inner ceramicist at Togei Kyoshitsu or checking out the latest in avant-garde fashion at IF Boutique. I also really enjoy letting myself be present in the experience of being alive, taking it all in.

I’m always on the lookout for new learnings, new adventures and new ways to grow. Recently, I have found myself particularly interested in birding, human connection in our changing world and the social + ethical implications of emerging technology in our day to day lives.
