Throughout my career, I've delivered cross-discipline solutions in diverse settings, from startups to corporate landscapes, tailored for each unique context. Beyond pushing pixels, I'm passionate about guiding design strategies, nurturing emerging designers, and advocating for the transformative power of design thinking.

(7+ Years)
How I approach projects from start to finish
01
Empathize & Understand
Before diving into design, I engage deeply with stakeholders and users. This ensures a comprehensive grasp of both user needs and business objectives. My experience across diverse sectors has taught me the importance of understanding the unique challenges and aspirations of each project.
02
Define & Ideate
With a clear understanding in place, I define the core challenges and brainstorm potential solutions. Leveraging design thinking, I explore a wide range of ideas, ensuring that the final design isn't just innovative but also aligned with the project's goals.
03
Prototype & Design
I craft tailored solutions, emphasizing innovation and user-friendliness. My designs are meticulously documented, ensuring seamless integration and alignment with project goals. Over the years, I've honed my skills in various design tools, ensuring that my prototypes effectively communicate the design vision.
04
Test & Implement
Before finalizing any design, I believe in rigorous testing. This data-driven approach ensures that the design is intuitive and meets user expectations. Once validated, my designs are integrated, ensuring they align perfectly with the technical and business aspects of the project.
05
Measure & Iterate
Post-implementation, I continuously monitor user interactions and gather feedback. This commitment to continuous learning and growth allows me to refine designs for optimal performance, ensuring that they remain relevant and effective in ever-evolving landscapes.

Off the Clock
Beyond the confines of digital design, I'm a photographer, plant lover, and 3D printing enthusiast. From capturing life's fleeting moments on Instagram to launching a successful Kickstarter for a practical yet beautiful 3D printed product, my pursuits are varied but united by a common thread: a passion for design that enriches and simplifies the everyday. Whether it's through the lens of a camera or the modelling of a 3D product, I bring a designer's eye to all aspects of life, always seeking to sprinkle a bit of UX in unexpected places.
