WHAT I DO: I design products that enable the users to achieve their objectives and to serve their needs in the best way possible. In my primary role as an interaction designer, I do product designing/prototyping, design research, design strategizing, system making/analyzing, story crafting and brand designing.
HOW I WORK: I prioritize purpose and empathy, which is why I specialize in human-centered design. I also believe that preserving and healing our environment is the most pressing challenge of our time. These beliefs are at the core of all of my design decisions/solutions.
WHAT I BELIEVE: I believe in human flourishing, which means I believe that as a designer, I make decisions that impacts people’s lives. I have the power of changing the world.
