" People ignores design that ignores people"
- Frank Chimero
With a strong foundation in drawing and rendering, I navigate into the field of design with academic approach and work experience. Design helps me understand a situation through different lenses. To be able to design unique solution tailored to a set users, I go in-depth with the values, history and analysis, finding the right approach and solution. I am passionate about my work and I feel curious in a dynamic environment where shifting perception is possible. I believe the best design is achieved when there is nothing to take away from it. I feel privileged to empathize with people and develop products that help them live a better life.
