Life / Hobbies
Designer by profession, observer by habit. I travel, cycle, walk cities, and quietly watch how people behave, move, and adapt, that's where real design insight comes from. I'm obsessed with future tech, nostalgic gadgets, and thoughtfully built desk setups (mine is constantly evolving). Photography keeps my eye sharp and honest, check it out here. I'm a firm believer that good designers don't just sit at screens. They experience the world, question it, and bring those learnings back into their work.
Skills / Tools
I work across product design, UX/UI, and systems design. My toolkit includes Figma for interface and system design, Framer for interactive prototypes, and Adobe Creative Suite for high-fidelity visuals. AI isn't an add-on — it's how I work. Claude, ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Perplexity for thinking and research. Claude Code, Replit, and Cursor for building. Figma Make for production. I bring strong visual judgment, systems thinking, and a focus on scalable, globally relevant products.
