Who I Am

Designing with intent
& empathy

Product Designer with a background in Computer Science Engineering and hands-on experience delivering end-to-end product design across web and mobile platforms.

I translate complex product requirements into intuitive user flows, wireframes, and interactive prototypes. My design philosophy centres on empathy — understanding real user problems, testing assumptions early, and iterating fast.
