about me.

I am a creator, builder, and problem-solver fueled by curiosity. I work collaboratively with others to develop designs that are both functional and meaningful. My portfolio spans projects for individual users as well as international companies, encompassing everything from concept sketches to finalized physical designs. My aim is to craft user-friendly designs that enhance people’s lives.
