About
I'm a product designer who turns complex technical constraints into clear product decisions. At Garmin I designed in-vehicle experiences from exploration to handoff for Toyota, Honda, and Yamaha. My work spans platform integration, multimodal design, and product definition.
Garmin • 0->1, Platform Integration
Drove the 0→1 design of HealthGuard, the first wellness experience on Toyota's connected vehicle platform, working around data access constraints to integrate Garmin wearables into the platform, shipping to 200K+ vehicles in six months.
Garmin • Discovery, Concept Definition
Defined 6 business-informed design opportunities from exploratory research with commercial truck drivers, built from 9 in-person interviews recruited from 165 survey responses, and brought them to stakeholders as a proposal for future development.
Yamaha Rider Experience
Garmin • HMI, Cross-Device Flows
Owned feature design across the head unit and companion app for an upcoming Yamaha two-wheeler, covering navigation map tools and cross-device file transfer, designed for a screen that locks to hard key control when in motion. (Available upon request)
