More about myself

🚀 My journey into the world of UX began when I was working as a SharePoint designer, and I found myself drawn to the user-centered design principles that I discovered in the process. Since then, I've worked with a variety of startups 🖌️ and design agencies 📐, collaborating with cross-functional teams to solve complex problems and create products that are both beautiful and functional.

Outside of work, I'm an avid traveler ✈️and landscape photographer 📸. I'm always seeking new experiences and adventures 🌋, and I find inspiration for my design work from the world around me. Whether it's discovering new cultures or capturing the beauty of nature, my passion for travel and photography helps me bring a unique perspective to my work as a designer 👀.

My Design Philosophy

😶‍🌫️ Ambient designing

I believe in creating products that seamlessly blend into users' lives, making their experiences more enjoyable and less intrusive.

🦻🏻 Inclusiveness & Accessible

It's important to me that everyone can use the products I design, regardless of their abilities or limitations.

🧯 Challenge our assumptions

It's easy to become over confident in our own ideas and opinions. I believe in finding the root cause of the problem and rigours iteration of testing can help bring clarity and make informed decisions.
