My interest
I’ve always been interested in understanding human behavior through the lenses of psychology and the built environment. I am fascinated by how design shapes human behavior, affecting the experiences of users, businesses, and society as a whole.
In my free time, I enjoy being around with friends and families, listening to music, and exploring new cafe and experiences!
As digital transformation continues to impact our daily lives, I find the challenge of designing digital spaces particularly compelling.
What I bring
With 5 years of study in Architecture, Graphic Design, and UX, my skills in design thinking across multiple disciplines give me a diverse perspective on understanding problems and ideating in ambiguity.
My 5 years of work experience in UX and Architecture, rooted in design thinking, reflect my dedication to learning and solving the complexities of real-world problems. My goal is to utilize my design expertise to enhance and innovate experiences for both users and businesses.
