about me

I started in media & cultural studies because of my deep curiosity for how we are perceived.

Currently, I use design to transform that digital friction into a moment of pure, quiet clarity.

I’m detail-obsessed, comfortable asking the vulnerable, "obvious" questions, and devoted to creating thoughtful, human-centered experiences that give people a gentle breath of air.
