About Me.

My design process revolves around identifying underlying user needs, deriving valuable insights and crafting solutions that are good for the user and the business.

My B.Sc. (Hons) in Product Design (Marketing & Innovation) provided me with a deep understanding of innovation and the user-centred design process through hands-on projects and real business applications.

As a designer, I’m comfortable with the uncertainty and ambiguity that the discovery process brings with it, and I’m capable of spending quality time with the problem itself before beginning to work on a solution.

I have a holistic view of the design development process from conception to the shelf, thanks to my well-rounded knowledge of design thinking, services marketing, product development and innovation management.

I naturally and consistently employ universal and equitable design practices and received the Judges’ Choice Award in the Technology category of the Universal Design Grand Challenge 2023 with the “Leva App & Buddy”.
