About Me
I'm a low-key creative warrior. I'm a designer with an immense interest in the creative field and user experience. I'm a believer that everyone deserves good experiences. Whether in products, websites, electronics, etc., a design should be well-informed and researched to provide this. Good design should be accessible to everyone and meet people's needs. I'm a polyglot, an autodidact, and an explorer. I speak five languages and have professional experience in four countries. I'm someone who designs for real people, not stakeholders.
