About

I'm a UX Designer with a background in Architecture. My design approach focuses on understanding the reasoning behind design choices, empathising with users, and delivering practical solutions. I bring a distinct perspective to design challenges, enabling me to craft innovative and user-centric design solutions, prioritising functionality, innovation, impact, and aesthetics.
