About
I am a designer not just by profession, but by motivation. I try to establish a method in chaos, and I apply empathy, holistic thinking,
and strategic methodologies to make sense of complex problems.
I find the greatest joy in creating user-centric solutions by being a hands-on practitioner.
I see each problem as an opportunity that can be resolved with great design, and I believe in doing more than in planning.
While I have spent a large part of the last few years as a strategic planner and a design leader, I have always been a designer first and I strive to innovate and inspire with each piece of work I do.
Values I Live By
For me, people are at the core of my work. I am eager to learn, curious about new ideas, and skilled at designing human-centric experiences that deeply influence business, strategy, products, and culture.
Collaboration
I encourage open dialogue, cooperative problem-solving, and mutual respect to champion an environment of trust and support.
Trust
By creating an environment where diversity is appreciated, I encourage mutual discussions, constructive feedback, and a sense of psychological safety.
Communication
I prioritise clear and consistent communication, practise active listening, and ensure prompt conflict resolution to help my teams make informed decisions.
Empowerment
I encourage autonomy and accountability, enabling individuals to explore new avenues, take calculated risks, and showcase their unique strengths.
Approach to Work
I believe my hands-on approach to problem-solving and being present in every step of the collaborative design process has brought success to all the projects.
As a designer, I am adaptable and always curious. I design with passion and I deliver projects that help simplify products and life.
As a team player, I willingly extend my skills and hands-on support to my team to create a sense of camaraderie and shared effort.
As a strategic thinker, I can perceive the broader landscape and anticipate future directions, while never losing sight of the finer details. And while I can articulate my ideas with clarity and conciseness, my listening skills empower me to facilitate effective communication.
As a leader, I motivate and guide my team towards their goals, nurturing a sense of purpose and direction that fuels their dedication.
