About Me
I design purposeful, user-centered digital experiences that bring together clarity, creativity, and impact.
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been obsessed with design, whether it was sketching random things, redesigning or funnily enough building a flamethrower, magnetic slimes and an mockup arc reactor in my room. That playful curiosity eventually led me to product design. In college, I discovered that beyond aesthetics, I had a knack for solving problems through design and improving user experiences that work for people.
Because there's much more to life than pushing pixels & arguing with PMs. When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me drawing with Pen and Ink, I love working with textures, lifting weights at the gym, or getting lost in RPGs like Bloodborne and Elden Ring. Here are some of my artworks.
