About me!

I like to refer to myself as a “Creative Enthusiast.”

As an Architectural and UX Designer, I’m deeply interested in how design can shape impactful user experiences. From buildings to digital products, design has a direct impact on people, and I want to be part of crafting memorable and intuitive interactions.

With 2+ years of professional design experience and 5+ years of design education, I strive in iterative design, critiques, and translating complex problems into elegant solutions. I’m currently pursuing a Master of Architecture at the University of Waterloo, where I’m exploring topics of identity, memory, and heritage. When I’m not designing, I’m travelling the world or picking up a new hobby. Scroll along to see what I’m up to!
