Purpose
My goal is to remove friction from people’s lives so they can focus on what matters most.
Whether it’s saving time, reducing complexity, or empowering self-expression, I aim to design tools that help people do their best work, share their talents, and pursue their passions.
My journey
I grew up in the 90s, obsessed with video games and the internet. Naturally, I pursued computer science. But while I enjoyed solving technical challenges, I quickly realized what really motivated me was creating something useful—something meaningful.
That insight led me to specialize in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), where I discovered user-centered design and its power to improve lives. I even spent a transformative year studying HCI at the University of Calgary in Canada, which also sparked my passion for travel.
My career began with a UX/UI internship that evolved into a full-stack developer role. Over four years, I enjoyed bridging design and development, but I came to see that truly mastering either one requires full commitment. I felt the pull toward design and chose to focus on it—to grow with intention and depth.
I then spent nearly three years working as a consultant before joining startups for their energy, creativity, and flatter hierarchies.
Now, with over six years of experience as a designer, I’m eager to keep growing and making a difference—ideally in a place where design is valued, and where I can contribute to impact at scale, whether in a fast-moving startup or a forward-thinking company.

Inspiration & Escapes
Travel is a huge source of inspiration for me. Whenever I can, I go exploring. When I can’t, I turn to a good book, a show, or quality time with friends and family—other ways to escape and recharge.
Music is a constant companion, whether I’m on the move, working out, or relaxing at home. What I listen to shifts with my mood, from calm instrumentals to energetic beats or nostalgic favorites. If I had to pick one for this section, Wander by Kevin Morby would be a good fit.

Movement has always been part of my rhythm too. Sports have been in my life for as long as I can remember—along with the occasional injury (especially from skateboarding). When I’m not sidelined, I enjoy running and working out to clear my mind.
When I feel like slowing down, I’ll sometimes pick up a game. I don’t play as much as I used to, but I still appreciate a good one now and then. My recent favorite? Sea of Stars.
I’ve paired a few game screenshots with travel photos of my own—to show that exploration can be just as magical on screen as it is in the real world.
