About me

About me

At a glance

In more details

At Nurra Health, I own product design across a 0→1 AI-native care management platform — translating ambiguous, high-stake clinical workflows into clear, intuitive, and human-centered products for care teams and patients.


I am driven by empowering others. I love solving complex, human-heavy problems: moments where the user need is emotional, operational, and business-critical. And the solution brings them joy & delight.


Product manager in a past life, I bring a strategic, analytical lens to design. I enjoy solving complex problems thoughtfully—from high-level systems and workflows to high craft and cross-functional collaboration.

My background made me well-versed in product strategy, strategic and data-driven decision making, and designing for impact.


In my spare time, you can find me painting on Procreate, enjoying the great outdoors, or reading fantasy.
