BIO

I began my journey in UI/UX design with a passion for crafting clean, meaningful interfaces. From the start, I was drawn to more than just how things look—I wanted to understand how people feel, think, and move through digital spaces. That curiosity has shaped the way I design today: with intention, empathy, and a focus on both form and function.

When I’m not designing, you’ll find me chasing mountain views, going for a run, experimenting with new recipes, bonding with cats, or simply reconnecting with nature. It’s in those quiet, curious moments that my best ideas take shape.
