About Me
From driving user engagement for a Fortune 500 insurance site, to spearheading the MVP product for an IoT startup, I’m a visual designer turned product designer with experience in designing digital products and interfaces in both B2B and B2C sectors. My formal training in visual design and HCI makes me a “full-stack” designer–capable of conducting user research and translating insights into beautifully executed experiences. Whether working independently or with cross-functional teams, I bring business acumen to the table, ensuring that the solutions I design align with strategic goals and deliver measurable impacts. My future aspiration includes contributing to projects focused on accessibility and social good
Working with me feels like:
💡 Embarking on a deeply empathetic journey—I love listening to users’ stories and creating experiences that forge a bond with people at the heart
💡 Challenging the status quo—I ask thought-provoking questions that dive deep into the root causes of problems
💡 Experiencing craftsmanship at its finest—I am a detail-devil, upholding high-quality craftsmanship in the output
💡 Having a buddy to bounce off ideas and engage in heartfelt conversations about design, tech trends, and anything:)
