Get To Know Me
My Background
As an aspiring product designer, I embody innovation and creativity in a consumer driven world. Whether it’s identifying new problems, or bettering existing solutions, I use an open-minded and creative approach in my work. However, my urge to learn and explore doesn’t stop there. Over the years, I’ve grown interest and enthusiasm for information technology, and the endless possibilities it has to offer. Learning about cybersecurity, computer science, UI/UX design, etc., I’ve understood that virtually every aspect of modern society revolves around technology. Moreover, I’ve come to realize that not only can my dual passions for design and technology coexist, but they can complement and strengthen one another.
