At my core, I am a designer. I apply design thinking to everything — from planning a vacation (that's just a user journey map for me) to fixing broken furniture (creative problem-solving).
With a background in Industrial Design, my approach to design is not just for functionality and aesthetics, but for the broader system, the people involved, and the social and environmental context. I'm passionate about crafting design solutions that positively impact people, businesses, and the planet.
I am always eager to learn, collaborate, and chat about anything Design. Feel free to connect with me over email or on social platforms.
