I AM KNOWN TO BEING SELECTIVELY EXTROVERT & CAN BE REALLY G OFY SOMETIMES.
During high school, I found myself constantly drawn to the worlds of art and science. It wasn't until my dad introduced me to the world of product design that I truly found my calling. I was hooked! Product design was like a beautiful mix of everything I loved, and I knew I had found my true passion.
So, I pursued and studied industrial design during my undergrad years. Along the way, I also embarked on a journey of self-discovery, trying to figure out who I was and what I wanted out of life. It was a wild ride, but I emerged stronger and wiser for it.
Then came COVID-19, the universe threw a curveball, and everything changed. I faced hiring freeze during my first potential industrial design job at 'Johnson controls Hitachi'. I pivoted quickly. The digital world was on the rise and I stumbled upon the enchanting realm of UI/UX design, and there was simply no turning back. From that moment on, I've poured over 15,000 hours of my life into designing exquisite experiences and solving problems for the consumer. It's become an all-consuming passion of mine, and I'm always hungry to learn and grow more.
When I'm not immersed in my work, I love to curl up with a good book or spend time with animals. For me, there's something truly therapeutic about being around our furry, feathered, and scaled friends.
