UX Designer, Product Strategy

Over the years I’ve taken unexpected turns, figured things out on the go, and picked up a bunch of stories along the way.

I’m an immigrant, a photographer, a car lover and whatever I set my mind to be. I adapt quick, stay curious, and try not to take myself too seriously.

This site is a small glimpse into the things I’ve made, lived, and learned.

But why only me?

I don't just design screens, I tell stories.

I design my experiences like I'm telling a story, interesting and engaging, all while being user friendly.

My approach

I design with both feet on the ground and one eye on what's possible.

Feasibility matters. I can't help users with ideas that never ship. But I also know when to push limits, imagine better and built what doesn't exist yet.

Design solutions, not pixels.

Accessibility first, not an addition.

Generate positive impact through design.
