I grew up with a love for numbers, patterns, and logic. The kind of kid who actually enjoyed solving equations. That led me to study Electrical Engineering for my undergrad. Then I stumbled into the world of UX, and got hooked. I started teaching myself design, research, and everything in between. The more I learned, the more I realized this was it. This is what I want to get really good at.


Now I’m studying HCI, working at the intersection of systems and people, and chasing those moments where everything clicks.

What keeps me going

New people. New problems. New patterns. No two projects look the same. I like work that asks me to think differently every time, and I like work that moves.

Some days it's spreadsheets and sticky notes. Other days, it's sketching, testing, adjusting. It’s that constant shift between structure and surprise that keeps me going.

How I work

System-first, people-always

Clear communication > noise

Design decisions backed by reasons

Reliable, consistent, quietly obsessive

What I’m up to, beyond work

I love exploring new cities with no agenda, except maybe a good beach and a good café. I’m also mildly obsessed with sunsets, desserts, and the idea of doing photo shoots.
