A little about me beyond design
More than a product designer, I'm a problem-solver — I care about untangling the why more than polishing the what.
I believe good design starts with empathy — understanding people before I ever sketch a solution. I stay human-centered, focused not just on visual aesthetics but on the real needs underneath them.

Interests and inspiration
Inspiration strikes me offline as much as it does on Figma. While I love designing and gaming, I find the contrast is what keeps me focused and creative.
I find enjoyment in the simple things — whether it's a going on a short sunset run, baking a batch of cookies, or trying to learn how to crochet.
