About

Hi recruiters! I am a 3D Product Designer and UI/UX Designer, and my journey into design has been an unexpected yet fulfilling one.

Whether it is designing functional, user-centered products or creating intuitive digital experiences, I never tire of the creative process. For me, design is about more than just the final product—it is about transforming ideas into tangible solutions that make a meaningful impact.
