ABOUT
I'm a designer passionate about crafting digital and physical experiences that are clear, intuitive, and deeply human-centered. With a background in interaction design, user research, and usability testing, I approach every project by focusing on how people interact with products in meaningful ways.
Recently, I’ve been diving into game design, driven by a passion for creating intuitive, immersive experiences. With a foundation on user-centered design principles, I bring a unique perspective to gameplay, designing engaging and natural interactions for players.
