About

I am a design nerd who is as passionate about the behind the scenes as much as the main attraction. I love turning time-consuming tasks into profitable workflows.

My mantra is “Design with Purpose.”.
If something in the design doesn’t have a purpose,it probably shouldn’t be there.

As Dieter Rams said:
“Good design is as little as possible. Less, but better, because it concentrates on the essential aspects, and the products are not burdened with non-essentials. Back to purity, back to simplicity.”

What I love most being a designer is being able to create things from nothing. It makes me feel like I have superpowers. It’s awesome to be able to turn ideas into reality; wheteher it’s tactile or digital.
