my journey.
I started playing with design and code at the age of 9—my first HTML page lit a spark that’s never gone out. By 14, I’d launched an e-commerce clothing store from my bedroom, learning early what it meant to build, sell, and ship.
I studied Information Systems and picked up coding along the way, but found myself drawn more to how things looked and felt than how they were built. That’s when I found UI design—and from there, grew into a full-stack product designer blending UI, UX, and strategy.
Through hands-on work and my degree, I picked up front-end dev skills that help me bridge design and engineering. Since then, I’ve led product design at MixRank (YC S11) based in Silicon Valley, redesigned mental health platforms, and built responsive e-commerce tools—with a balance of empathy, functionality, and business sense.
Currently, I’m diving deeper into UX research and usability through an MSc. in Usability Engineering.
Away from the desk and sticky notes? You’ll find me cracking dumb jokes, frolicking around with cola-fueled energy, or smashing cover drives on a cricket pitch.
