CREATING

EXPERIENCES

Fueled by my passion for art and creativity, I began my career in Graphic Design, crafting visuals that embodied brand voices and connected with diverse audiences. As I worked on various projects, I became increasingly intrigued by the potential of design to solve problems beyond aesthetics, which led me to pursue an MFA in Interaction Design from, the School of Visual Arts, NYC.

This curiosity sparked my transition into Product Design, where I now blend my visual design expertise with a deep understanding of human needs, technology, and problem-solving.

I am passionate about bringing communities together to create impactful experiences by empathizing with people’s challenges and designing meaningful solutions that cater to their unique needs. I actively collaborate with users to achieve better outcomes and enjoy exploring new industries and learning from diverse backgrounds to continually expand my design knowledge.
