Open for new Opportunities

Product Designer

An octopus of creative expressions, fascinated by product lifecycles & growth, visual storytelling, technical implementations, visual aesthetics and business impact on audiences.

My journey, experience, and versatility is inspired by a child-like curiosity about how things work. This has driven me to gain broad experience, working on digital solutions across diverse sectors, stages, locations, and development teams.

Life is not a novel, it’s a book of poems
Scroll down

Outside of work, I embrace the chance to create and share stories that capture life’s exciting moments. Instead of working toward a single "happy ending," I focus on living as a series of joyful experiences—less a novel with one conclusion, and more a book of poems, each moment a celebration in itself.

I am 100% an artist, I am also 100% an engineer, at a point, the paths cross.
