I discovered my passion for design at 15, drawn to the challenge of solving problems and creating experiences that make life simpler. That drive has shaped everything I do, from learning design fundamentals to mastering the craft of turning ideas into functional products.
Since then, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with a diverse range of companies—from Y Combinator startups to leading banks—delivering solutions that align business goals with user needs. My work spans industries, but the goal is always the same: to design for people.
When I’m not designing, you’ll often find me behind the lens, capturing moments that inspire new ways of seeing the world. For me, design and photography share a common thread: they both demand clarity, creativity, and a focus on unseen but magical details.
