Designer who can code. I care about simplicity, running design experiments and bagels.

I chose design as a career to witness and shape the experiences that humans share with each other. I value human connections a lot.

My journey came full circle — starting as an engineer, growing into a designer, and now thriving as a design engineer where I blend code, systems thinking, and creativity to build tomorrow’s tools.
