a deep interest in people, emotions, and the quiet details that shape our experiences.
As a child, I wrote poems, cared deeply for nature, and created meaningful gifts for everyone around me. I paid attention to emotions long before I knew this sensitivity had a name.
My path through industrial design, cross-cultural experiences, and design management was not accidental; it was an evolution! It shaped how I think, how I listen, and how I approach complex problems. Along the way, I learned to balance curiosity with structure, empathy with clarity, and creativity with responsibility.
Today, I explore human experiences with care and attention, turning observations into understanding, and understanding into meaningful ideas. I’m interested in how clarity emerges from complexity, and how thoughtful design can create experiences that feel grounded, intentional, and human.
I design to make sense of things, to connect perspectives, and to create work that resonates beyond the surface.
