Bio

I am a product designer passionate about technology, art, and human psychology. My design philosophy focuses on creating experiences that blend intuitive functionality with a touch of creativity. Currently, I am studying full-time to obtain my Bachelor of Science in Interaction Design.

My design journey began eight years ago, and since then, I have honed my skills across a wide range of projects. Through my professional and academic experiences, I have cultivated a diverse skill set encompassing UX/UI design, design research, branding, digital illustrations, motion graphics, and photography. Beyond my professional endeavors, I continuously seek new ways to approach challenges through a lens of innovation.
