A Bit About Me
I am an Industrial Designer who believes that the greatest power that any designer can have is empathy and perspective. I believe in always growing and cultivating a perspective which is open to become wider and have as many influences as possible to increase my ability to harness empathy better and more accurately.
​
I enjoy keeping a focus on my physical and mental wellbeing. Photography and doodling are some of my favorite things to do when I am not occupied with work. All the photographs used in this website were clicked by me. I look forward to be a part of interdisciplinary teams and working together with a diverse group of people.
