Through research, collaboration, and user-focused designs, I craft solutions tailored to amplify mission effectiveness.
Areas of Expertise




Empathy is not always enough. When designers take on the role of facilitators and invite users into the process, the final solution becomes more effective & sustainable.
Collaboration
User Research
People are fun, yet complex puzzles. Design research is an amazing tool to discovering patterns and understanding a user’s behaviors, needs, and inner motivations.




Good design is not subjective art. It’s the practical, left-brain approach of organizing complex ideas or information into simple & digestible ways for people to understand.
Visual Design
Storytelling
Information can be boring. Animation & video are powerful tools to communicate in a way that deeply resonates with people, moving them from passive observers to active participants.
My name is Tira.
I like to describe what I do as creative problem-solving. Design is a joy because it combines two of my biggest passions: creativity & people.
