Guided by curiosity, I create interfaces and experiences centered in the observation and understanding of human behavior. To me, this approach isn't just a preference but an essential principle—it's the only way digital products should be designed. My background in fine arts has laid the foundation for my love of aesthetics and storytelling through visuals.

Outside of work, I indulge in leisurely pursuits—exploring new places, capturing moments, smelling flowers, learning embroidery, and experimenting in the kitchen!
