Where It Began

Ever since I was a kid, I found joy in creating new things and untangling chaos — whether through sketching, solving puzzles, or organising my drawers. As a zillennial, I also grew up with tech, learning by doing, and evolving alongside it.

That early curiosity deepened over time. I became drawn to how people think, what drives them, and why their actions don't always match their words — not out of confusion or malice, but because they're human.

This gap between words and actions shaped one of my core design values:
→ Observe behaviour, not just words.
→ Design with both in mind.

The Tech Years

Exploring the world of tech, I pursued Computer Science, and began my career at SAP, where I learnt to think in systems, solve complex problems, and build things that scale.

For a while, it felt “right.”

But over time, I realised — I didn’t just want to build things that worked. I wanted them to mean something.

Discovering Design

In my third year at SAP, a simple thought changed everything:

“If I can work this hard, why not do it in something I truly love?”

The thought sparked a period of self-exploration — reading, reflecting, and experimenting — which eventually led me to design: not just how things look, but how they work, feel, and help.

It brought together everything I valued: logic, empathy, creativity, and real-world impact.

A Leap of Faith

I left my job and pursued a Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Melbourne.

I dove deep into user behaviour, design research, and creative problem-solving, getting my hands dirty with real-world projects.

It was intense and uncertain.
But it was the best decision I’ve ever made.

Today, and Tomorrow

Today, I work as a UX/UI Consultant for HighScope, while also freelancing for small, upcoming businesses. I help turn abstract ideas into thoughtful and intuitive digital experiences - and with each project, I gain a new lens to understand people.

Where to next? I don’t have a rigid five-year plan — just a mindset:
Keep learning. Stay curious. Improve every day.

Whether through design communities, reflective writing, or long chats with curious minds, I actively seek ways to expand my perspective and stay grounded in the why.

Beyond Design & UX

When I’m not designing, I’m dancing, sketching, travelling, or geeking out over food and photography. These aren’t just hobbies — they’re how I recharge, observe, and stay inspired.
