About Me
I'm a self-taught Creative Architect and Product Designer with a knack for UI/UX. With about 7 years under my belt now, I'm now on a mission to design beyond the digital realm.
Why? Because I believe human experiences go beyond screens. Oh, and if you're wondering who fuels my inspiration?
Think Rick Rubin, Kanye West, Pharell Williams, and Bruce Lee. Their philosophy?
"Be present, be self-aware, and be like water."

Over the years, I have skillfully guided and inspired numerous aspiring designers, imparting not only technical expertise but also fostering a mindset of innovation and empathy within my mentees. My commitment to cultivating the next generation of design talent is reflected in my successful mentorship of over 250 design apprentices, nurturing their skills in user research, persona creation, and human-centered design. With a strong emphasis on critical thinking and data-driven decision-making, I have empowered budding designers to navigate the intricacies of the industry with confidence. My inclusive approach and dedication to mental health advocacy further underscore my role as a compassionate and insightful mentor, equipping others with the tools and knowledge to excel in the ever-evolving landscape of user experience design.
Guest Speaking
My Unique skillset showcases my ability to communicate complex concepts in an accessible and relatable manner. With my leadership experience and commitment to inclusivity and accessibility, I am well-equipped to deliver impactful and insightful presentations that resonate with diverse audiences. My dynamic speaking style, combined with my passion for mentorship and advocacy, has made me a compelling guest speaker for panels, workshops, and industry events focused on mental health, user experience, design thinking, and inclusive design practices.
My Freetime
I think it’s also important to give back or bring my experience and skills in design to help communities.
