I love storytelling, exploring the interconnectedness of our world and crafting meaningful experiences through design.
I’m passionate about solving meaningful problems that make life better for others. I believe that good design starts with a purpose and a story that inspires us to collaborate with real people to make a difference. With my background in business and UX, I have a knack for developing innovative ideas while working on diverse teams to ensure that users comes first.
