Welcome to my little fragment of the web :)

I am a product designer based in San Francisco and I recently completed my Master's in Interaction Design from California College of the Arts.

I approach my designs with curiosity and a desire to learn, thriving on ambiguity. I design products and experiences at the cusp of humanitarianism and powerful emerging technology.

I love to observe people using and reacting to my designs - observing what works, what doesn't and why. I love taking on complex real-world design challenges and pushing my creative limits to create solutions that enhance human experience.

As a Systems Thinker, I chart out the big possibilities of change and as a Prototyper - I play with small bets to tweak my direction when needed and achieve the goal with efficiency.

Being an optimist helps me take calculated risks and being a perfectionist keeps me invested until I turn those risks into wins for the people and businesses alike. I function at my best when collaborating in multidisciplinary teams where people care personally and challenge directly.

I live for stories, because every story is worth sharing. I find beauty in the world and work towards preserving every bit of it.

People describe me as

Collaborative

Diverse teams with an inclusive environment bring out the best in me.

Curious

I am always looking to learn and be an amateur at new things.

Methodical

Analytical thinking is the yin that balances my creative yang.

Versatile

I can adapt to any environment, project, or team - remote & insitu.

Energetic

I am motivated and jam-packed with the energy to keep moving forward.

My creative process

*don't look for fancy diagrams, let me spell it out for you -

Observing, listening to stories, going deep, zooming out, brainstorming, throwing ideas, finding the devil (of course in the details), bringing everyone together, creating safe spaces, empathizing, ideating, experimenting, "making", trying, narrowing down, being resourceful, being flexible, being gritty, being awe-inspired, immersing, loving, energizing, getting sh*t done, celebrating, repeating.

I care about..

..the beings in my life - my family, friends, colleagues, fellow humans and furry friends. I am an extrovert and I am constantly expanding my circle to allow amazing people in and get to know them on beneath the surface.

Having lived in 4 cities, I have learnt to be adaptive and empathetic to how people's cultures and life experiences shape them.
