About Me

Hello again,

I'm busy creating intuitive

designs with a human touch.

My design journey began with my mother. In 8th grade, I was captivated by her textile design portfolio, and from that moment, I knew I wanted to be a designer just like her.


I chased this dream into a degree in Architecture, where I spent countless hours crafting thermocol and file card models, transforming abstract ideas into tangible, spatial experiences.


As my passion grew, I found myself drawn to the digital realm. This brought me to the US, where I pursued a master’s degree in Human-Computer Interaction/Design at Indiana University Bloomington. During this time, I learned to stand on my own, made lifelong friends, and dove deep into the world of user experience. I discovered that design is about more than aesthetics — it’s about creating meaningful experiences.


Every step of my journey has taught me something new about what people need and how they perceive the world. I’ve learned that great design is a blend of creativity, functionality, and user experience. And that’s what drives me every day.
