What began as a favor quickly became an obsession—not with coding, but with how people navigated the site, what they clicked, what they ignored, and why. That was my unexpected gateway into UX and product design. It’s been five years since, and I’ve worked on 30+ projects across product design, visual, industrial, and architecture—basically trying to figure out how to make things that don’t just exist, but actually make sense. (Also, that people don’t hate using. Ideally.)

Fast forward to today—I’m currently pursuing my Master’s at Indiana University and doing research at the Luddy School of Informatics. One project brings local history to life through augmented reality, helping people experience the past in new ways. The other focuses on creating playful, gesture-based learning tools for kids, making education more intuitive and engaging.

And because I never really stop thinking about design, I’m always up for a good design chat, experimenting ideas, and blending styles that most people think shouldn’t mix—like minimalism crashing into brutalism, with a splash of maximalism for good measure. Plus, I love new tech like AR, VR, AI, and dreaming about a future where everything happens with just one tap (because who has time for more?).
