PROFILE
I’m a senior industrial designer focused on transforming complex problems into elegant, human-centered products. At Monteris Medical, I lead the design of the next-generation NeuroBlate system—an MRI-guided robotic laser ablation platform for brain surgery—owning both the physical system design and the UX/UI of the surgical software. My work spans healthcare and consumer spaces, from robotic surgical systems and digital consoles to smart wearables and home wellness devices. I specialize in early-stage concept development, UX/UI, and visual brand language, creating solutions that blend technical precision with emotional clarity. Whether designing for the OR or the living room, I aim to craft experiences that feel intuitive, trustworthy, and future-ready.
