The drive to create brought me here.

The drive to create brought me here.

To create things that solve problems, make lives easy, create an impact and spread delight.
My journey in product design has been an exhilarating ride which has taken me through different teams and organisations, allowing me to gain valuable insights into B2B Product Design, User Research, Design Systems, Visual Design, etc.
I like to see things taking shape and love to see users talk about their experience and how something helped them - be it space, app, website or a piece of information. I am fascinated by the potential of design to impact lives and help businesses. Being a designer allows me to touch varied disciplines and interact with people from diverse backgrounds. It is satisfying, rewarding and most importantly, it keeps me on my toes!

I'm a curious soul, always eager to explore new horizons and challenge myself. When I'm not working, you'll likely find me either embarking on a new adventure or catching up on some much-needed rest 🐨💤

Growing up, I was an avid reader, particularly drawn to fiction and science fiction. (Yes, I am a potterhead!). Lately, I've been delving into the worlds
of design, psychology and personal development.

I'm a bit of a productivity nerd, always on the lookout for new tools and techniques to help me stay organized. But let's be honest, handwritten to-do lists are my go-to when things get overwhelming.

I'm a self-proclaimed coffee enthusiast! I love everything about it: the taste, the aroma, and the cozy cafes where you can find it. Whether I'm working, relaxing, or simply people-watching, a good cup of coffee always hits the spot. My recent obsession with cafes has inspired me to experiment with cooking, especially breakfast, which is my favorite meal of the day.

Travelling is a tradition that runs in my family. Whether it's a work trip, a beach vacation, exploring history, shopping, or a food adventure, I'm always up for it. Traveling has pushed me out of my comfort zone, teaching me to adapt to new situations and overcome challenges. Immersing myself in different cultures, admiring diverse architecture, and experiencing unique visuals has sparked my creativity and expanded my understanding of the world.
