I'm Mia, a product designer who builds accessible, research-driven experiences. Supporting surgical teams taught me to anticipate needs, navigate high-stakes environments, and reduce friction during vulnerable moments. Today, I bring those same principles into product design through research, systems thinking, and rapid iteration. I'm drawn to products that make complex systems feel manageable, whether that's healthcare, fintech, education, or beyond.

Why work with me
I bring curiosity, collaboration, and a strong sense of ownership to every project. I’m eager to learn, thoughtful in my approach, and known as a reliable teammate who values feedback and shared success.
When I'm not designing
You’ll probably find me at trivia nights, staying active (currently obsessed with CorePower), getting lost in a good book (and losing sleep because of it), or spending time with friends.
