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 OEM partners including Toyota, Honda, and Yamaha. My work spans platform integration, multimodal design, and research.
Garmin • Health, In-Vehicle
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+ users in six months.
Garmin • Mixed-Method Research
Led exploratory research with truck drivers, recruiting 9 interviewees from 165 survey responses, and transformed the findings into a stakeholder proposal with 6 business-informed design opportunities.
Yamaha T-MAX
Garmin • Navigation, HMI
Redesigned the navigation features and cross-device file transfer for a next generation Yamaha T-MAX, working within development constraints and removing complexity to deliver an intuitive user flow between mobile and head unit. *Available upon request
