About Me

I’m a UX designer with a strong background in user research, prototyping, and product development. Outside of design, I’m passionate about photography, exploring new restaurants and cities with friends, and documenting my experiences through photography. I thrive in creative environments and am always looking for opportunities to learn, grow, and contribute to meaningful projects.
