I’m an independent product designer who’s passionate about people, community, and culture. Trying to make things good on the internet to help people access, create utility and value on their own terms.
I’ve been designing for web and mobile for over 8 years with a mix of full-time and freelancing which allows me to explore various challenges and topics to work on and gives me a chance to pick which area I want to push and make progress on my knowledge and expertise.
🕵️ 🎨 I like to use research, job-to-be-done, and lean UX to understand problems and design practical solutions. However, with my overthinking personality (totally transparent here ;P) - thinking at the end for maximum use cases tend to be my style which I found helps save design/ implementation effort and scalability in the long run. For practical solution at a time, I like to split the design solutions, see results and iterate while keeping the draft of the maximum in mind.

Life is a marathon, and so is the mission. Maintaining energy and patience to build and strengthen skills, knowledge, and relationships throughout the cycle and a bumpy road are keys to accomplishing a long-term goal. Make the best use of time, don’t waste or create waste.
Rome wasn't built in a day. Inconsistencies, mistakes, and flaws are part of the process. Reflect and resolve, polishing bit by bit to get the small wins and be better every day.
Add purposefully and remove when possible. Avoid justification of the new and see the value in what already have.
Acknowledging the good that we already have, believing in people and their contribution to the community, amplify voices that might otherwise gone unheard. Celebrate the win and feel belong in something bigger than yourself together.
