What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters creativity, collaboration, and business impact, where I can leverage my design skills to create meaningful user experiences.

I am a passionate Product Designer with a strong focus on user-centered design and social impact. With a Master’s in Social Design and a background in Animation and Interior Design, I create inclusive and empathetic solutions for diverse users.

As a founding designer at Growth Gear, I led end-to-end product development for a SaaS platform, aligning business goals with real user needs. I’ve worked with cross-functional teams to deliver thoughtful and measurable design outcomes. My work with the Ministry of Minority Affairs involved facilitating artisan workshops that boosted sales, and I’ve also designed impactful visuals for social campaigns that improved engagement and reach.

I believe in using design as a tool for positive change, and I’m committed to building experiences that are functional, accessible, and meaningful.
