I am a UX/UI designer with 12+ years of experience and a proven track record in shipping digital experiences from conception to launch. I have designed end-to-end across various industries such as technology, healthcare, telecommunications, energy, finance and the arts.

I’ve worked on web applications, mobile apps, websites, kiosks and interactive exhibits in collaboration with teams in multiple regions. I bring passion and creativity to every project that I work on, and I hope to foster a strong design culture in every team I am a part of.

Let’s collaborate and make things better. Or, we could create something completely new!

Interests

Growing up, my hobbies included painting, lego block architecture, and clay modeling. My most peculiar interest, was my obsession with making houses out of shoe boxes. Today, I enjoy cooking, photography, browsing through National Geographic, tinkering with code and taking part in hackathons.
