About me
Passionately curious explorer and problem solver.
In my career, I have collaborated with team members around the world to design and implement a wide range of both physical and digital solutions, as well as future focused concepts in collaboration with research teams.
Through mentoring and leading workshops on understanding user needs and designing for emerging technologies, I have been able to sharing my love for design and creative thinking.
When I’m not exploring new ideas at work, I’m out exploring the world. I enjoy traveling and collecting hobbies. Diverse experiences open me to new possibilities and approaches, leading me to become a more empathic and creative designer.
