Ten years in fashion, e-commerce, and consumer electronics have challenged me to adapt and shaped the way I approach design.
I like challenging function over form and exploring new approaches, aiming for design that is both practical and distinctive, with aesthetics that stand out from the sea of sameness. I design with empathy in mind, drawing on user experience principles to shape products and interfaces that invite discovery.
