Outside of Design
I see myself as an adventurer, explorer, and observer. I love trying new things, exploring nature, and meeting new people. This is how I get inspired!
So, Who am I as a designer?
Back in the very beginning, I was a kid who loved to draw, paint, and get my hands dirty.
My design journey began in Fashion Design because of my interest in handcrafting.
Fun fact : I launched a brand selling fashion accessories with prints I illustrated.
Then I had a chance to explore Visual Design.
I’m obsessed with visual design because it’s a method to share my values with the world directly. I also enjoy playing with typography, color, and motion.
And then I realized...
What I am deeply passionate about is creating designs that connect with people and make a positive impact on our lives.
So here I am! Interaction Design.
An intersection that combines all of my passions. I’m keen on finding out the why and how people interact with design to build an enjoyable user experience.
For me, design is an endless journey of exploration and experimentation, always to be continued. That’s why it is so fun and full of surprises.
Let’s continue to build this journey together!
