I geek out over digital interfaces, product design, and architectural design—basically, making things look awesome and work smoothly! ✨ Function + beauty = my design mantra.
I’m all about sustainability 🌱, creating designs that are accessible & impactful for everyone. It’s not just about aesthetics; it’s about making a difference! 💡
Always up for a challenge and learning something new—throw it my way! 🚀 Having lived in different cities 🏙️, I’ve learned to see the world from multiple angles, which helps me craft better experiences.
At the heart of it all? Empathy. 💛 Because great design isn’t just about pixels and layouts—it’s about people. Let’s create something amazing together! 🎨✨
