I grew up living a pretty sheltered life, most of the real-world complexities of “adulting” were kept at bay. But when I suddenly had to handle things on my own, like applying for documents, managing finances, or even just figuring out basic systems, I realized how overwhelming and inaccessible so much of it really was. What seemed like it should be simple often felt unnecessarily complicated, and I couldn’t help but notice how design played a huge role in either easing the process or making it harder. That moment opened my eyes to the true impact of thoughtful, accessible design.

I went on to study Computer science Engineering, because it felt right at the moment. Learning about emerging technologies and human behavior gave me the tools to bridge the gap between complex systems and the people navigating them. That is pretty much what motivated me to explore designing more.

Alongside this, I’ve always had a love for art and craftsmanship, which naturally shaped my attention to detail. Over time, I found fulfillment in creating designs that I learnt about while studying computer science. Hearing stories from designers in the field only confirmed that this was the right path for me, their sense of purpose matched everything I wanted to find in a career.

Today, I’m driven by a simple mission: to design with empathy, remove barriers, and make technology something that truly serves people and not the other way around.
