“When I started in software development, I learned that I was less interested in making code. I was more interested in how humans perceive things. When I went to graduate school, I was exposed to human-computer interaction — specifically, a combination of design psychology and computer science. I began to think deeply about how human beings perceive technology, and how we can improve their lives using it. I come from a medical family and helping others has always been my motivation. Having a talent in technology, I asked myself, 'How can I help others?' Seeing someone struggle with technology is very concrete. By using my work, I could break down those barriers and help everyone use technology on a level playing field.

Digital experiences are often built with a bias towards people who don't have disabilities. This bias is often not intentional, but technology has been designed without them in mind. With inclusive design, we can make digital products more enjoyable and more engaging for people with disabilities. A notable example is text messages, originally designed exclusively for deaf people, which are now used and loved by everyone. Inclusive design prioritizes people with disabilities. At Lilly, we encourage empathetic design processes to create experiences that make life easier. 
 
As a designer and user experience professional, I am interested in how technology can positively improve human lives. My purpose is to ensure that Lilly is inclusive, which prompted me to help form the Access Lilly program, which aims to make our physical and digital environment accessible and inclusive for all.”
