Education
What sets me apart isn't one skill — it's what I've learned across three disciplines: my ability to bridge how things look, how they work, and how they feel. An architect's eye for space, an engineer's instinct to test rather than assume, and a designer's sense for what feels right — that combination shapes every screen I design.
Fun Fact
Before I ever opened a design tool, I was sketching floor plans with LEGO bricks as a curious six-year-old — unknowingly creating my first prototypes.
That early fascination with how people interact with spaces evolved into a degree in Architecture, where I learned to think in systems and turn abstract ideas into tangible form; work as a graphic designer, which sharpened my eye for visual storytelling and brand logic; and graduate work in civil engineering, which taught me to back decisions with data instead of instinct alone.
Today, UX/UI design is where those threads converge. I approach a screen the way I once approached a building — thinking about structure, compositional hierarchy, and what someone will experience while moving through it.
