About

Versatile Designer with a background in architecture, UX design, and design technology. In my work, I try to create a relationship between the user and the designed object, space, or application by making them a part of the experience. I’m really interested in what mobility has done for design, and how the parameters of design have changed to take advantage of people using computing on-the-go around the globe. I am interested in creating extraordinary interactive and immersive user experiences.
