Product Designer with 8+ years of experience, currently specialising in integrating AI-driven innovation in oncology healthcare.

I work with designing intuitive, human-centered experiences for complex systems — including large language models (LLMs), multimodal foundation models, and agentic AI.

I thrive in environments where design helps shape both product and direction. My work bridges technical complexity and real user needs.

With a strong UX and UI design foundation, deep AI knowledge and healthcare environment experience, I push creative boundaries to deliver meaningful, future-ready solutions that enable the users to focus on what really matters to them, as a companion not a replacement.
