Bio and Affiliation

An imaginative and creative Product Designer/Senior UX Designer/Educator/Author. From doodles on scrap paper to crafting seamless user experiences, my journey in Design has been a tapestry woven with a passion for creative human-centered problem-solving and a relentless curiosity about people.

My design approach is deeply rooted in the Feynman Technique. As a design educator, I find that teaching both the practice and theory of Design keeps me sharp. This dual perspective enhances my skills and allows me to constantly evolve, bringing a unique blend of knowledge and hands-on experience to the table.

As a designer and creative leader, my commitment to the design community extends beyond the studio. Constantly learning and evolving, I engage in workshops, public speaking, and mentorship.
