I believe that behind every interface, product, or experience, there are human emotions, needs, and dreams waiting to be understood and elevated. I strive to chase those stories through my work. My approach blends collaborative energy with an insatiable curiosity, fearless exploration, and a dedication to ethical and inclusive storytelling. Today, standing at the intersection of creativity, psychology, technology, and business is thrilling. I wake up every day with the desire to create experiences that solve real problems while delighting users. As a software engineer turned designer, whether I'm sketching wireframes, conducting user interviews, or iterating on prototypes, I bring the discipline of an engineer and the imaginative spirit of an artist to every challenge.

My journey through design
Past Experiences
Education
Interestingly, when I look back,
Theatre pushed me to pursue design as a career. During my engineering years, performing as a theatre artist was my creative escape. I also performed professionally as a sand animation artist– telling stories through shadows of sand grains. It taught me the fundamentals of storytelling and motion—how to guide attention, build emotional arcs, and create meaningful moments—and most importantly, empathizing with my characters and people around. Since childhood, being an artist, I would spend hours sketching, and coloring. I enjoyed the sheer process of creating something from nothing.
Little did I know these artistic adventures would push me to go beyond syntaxes and algorithms. Even in my earliest days as a software engineer, I found myself increasingly drawn to the human side of technology—not just whether something worked, but whether it resonated. And design helped bridge my analytical understanding of how systems function with my creative intuition for how they are experienced, expanding my ability to solve problems holistically.
Thanks for visiting my little corner 🪴 on the internet!
Yes, this is done with sand on a light screen!
