"Another word for creativity is courage."
- Henri Matisse

About Me

The realm of design has long captivated me, leading me to explore graphic design, lettering design, and physical product design.

​

Presently, my passion lies in UI/UX design, where I specialize in crafting digital experiences that are intuitive and enjoyable to use.

​

Outside of design, I find joy in befriending community cats, immersing myself in Metroidvania games, and delving into theories from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
