I design experiences where creativity meets the worlds I explore through food, travel, art, and the rhythms of daily life.

Short story

Short story

I’m a product designer with over five years of experience designing and shipping digital products across web, mobile, and emerging platforms. Since 2019, I’ve worked on consumer-facing technology, fintech, and education products, building everything from websites and apps to interactive installations, VR/AR projects, and AI-powered features. I focus on turning complex systems into clear, usable, and scalable experiences.

I bring a strong technical foundation to my design work. With a background in Electrical Engineering and two Master’s degrees in Applied Art and Product Innovation and Design, I’m comfortable collaborating closely with engineers and working within real technical constraints. I specialize in systems thinking, interaction design, and documentation, and I care deeply about clarity, accessibility, and long-term product quality. I enjoy taking ownership in ambiguous problem spaces and designing solutions that feel thoughtful, trustworthy, and practical to use.

Outside of design, I find inspiration in nature, food, cooking, and exploring new cafés and restaurants. For me, design goes beyond aesthetics or usability, it’s about connection, solving real problems, and making a meaningful impact. Each project is an opportunity to learn, grow, and explore how creativity and culture shape everyday experiences, and how design can make them more intuitive and thoughtful.
