## About

```text
At Automattic, I refined the visual language across product and marketing experiences for an email automation tool within the WordPress ecosystem. I translated business requirements into clear, cohesive design solutions.

At Inspirit, I developed the visual language, brand system, and user experience for a digital learning platform. I led design for features that let students and teachers learn in 3D immersive environments.

At Clinikk, I contributed to an MVP through collaborative design workshops and designed multi-platform applications for micro-insurance sales, operational workflows, and primary healthcare assistance.

At Codesign, I worked with clients on visual strategies and identity systems, shaping brand expression across print and digital touchpoints. My work includes Pia, my graduate project at CMU, recognized as a Core77 Notable student project, and an iF Design Award 2023.
