My Approach

My passion lies in leveraging neuroscience and integrative health to design digital solutions that enhance well-being and foster healthier, more mindful lives. By blending science with technology, I aim to create products that not only engage but also have a measurable, positive impact on mental and physical health.

Years of working in academia and the digital health space have taught me the importance of evidence-based innovation. My approach focuses on applying scientific rigor to product development, ensuring solutions are rooted in research-backed methodologies and designed to align with how the brain and body function in everyday life.

As a consultant, I bring a holistic view to each project, drawing from neuroscience to understand user behavior and applying those insights to develop creative, strategic solutions that meet clients’ goals. Whether it’s through product validation, user research, or behavioral programming, my aim is to help companies build scalable, impactful health technologies.
