How the journey started

How the journey started

My journey as a self-taught Designer began during my high school years, fueled by my passion for new technologies and visual aesthetic. I dove into design on my own, learning through online tutorials and by creating fictional case studies to sharpen my skills. This early passion for aesthetics and attention to detail, combined with my determination to learn on my own, allowed me to persevere through challenges and ultimately discover my true calling in design.


Over the years, I’ve perfected my craft through hands-on experience, always striving to simplify user interfaces with a meticulous attention to detail. From my early days as a product designer to leading design teams, I’ve developed a holistic understanding of the design process, from ideation to execution.This broad range of experiences has given me a strategic mindset, allowing me to anticipate industry trends and drive innovation. Today, as a Design Director, I draw on this wealth of experience to steer our design initiatives while fostering a culture of design excellence within the team.

Through my professional and personal experiences, I’ve cultivated my own values and approach that permeate everything I undertake. A core value that guides me is “Excellence as a standard” as I believe nothing is more important than the details. Learning Design and Management independently has allowed me to focus on what matters most: the elegance of minimal design while striving for perfection in every aspect. This philosophy shapes my vision for design and informs how I lead teams.

Beyond design and technology, my creative inspiration is deeply rooted by my love for nature, photography, and cars. Exploring nature brings me a sense of calm and clarity, while my passion for photography allows me to capture the beauty in those fleeting moments. Likewise, my fascination with cars—both their design and engineering reflects my appreciation for precision, performance, and the thrill of exploration. These diverse interests continually inspire my work, reminding me that creativity thrives when fueled by a rich tapestry of passions.
