ABOUT
UI/UX designer
My work sits at the intersection of HCI and technical engineering, where I blend UI/UX design with machine learning and neural signal processing. What makes my approach unique is the application of cognitive principles--such as heuristic evaluations and vectorized array processing to optimze user interfaces for both efficiency and accessibility.
