Design for Life

I am an interdisciplinary designer with diverse background in Design + Art + Education + Architecture + Tech.

In my academic journey, I learned various UX/UI skills and cultivated a mindset of craftsmanship, much like many diligent designers who excel in school. However, upon entering the professional world, I have begun to reassess the fundamental purpose of design and user experience.

While remaining receptive to user feedback and striving for pixel-level perfection are embedded in my gene as a researcher and designer, I now prioritize leveraging all available resources to bring design solutions to life. This means considering the broader context of both users and stakeholders and approaching challenges from various angles. I recognize that my role extends beyond designing for individual users and instead I am crafting experiences for a larger community and real-life scenarios.
