About Me
UX Designer & Problem Solver
I'm a UX designer passionate about creating intuitive, accessible, and delightful digital experiences. With a background in both design and technology, I bring a holistic approach to solving complex user problems.
My design philosophy centers on empathy and understanding user needs. I believe that great design should be invisible, enabling users to accomplish their goals without friction or confusion.
When I'm not designing, you might find me acting on stage or screen—my other creative passion. This dual background gives me unique insights into storytelling, emotion, and human behavior that I bring to my UX work.
