A UX Designer dives into ambiguity with observation, curiosity, and creativity to create strategic and comprehensive solutions.

Based in London. UCL HCI alumnus, formerly at Trend Micro.

 

Being a part of one of the most complex social animals on earth, interacting with others is never easy, however, interesting to me. My background in psychology equips me with the ability to perceive various viewpoints with empathy, facilitating not just integration but also the discovery of marvels in the ordinary.

With product design experience in B2B and SaaS environments, I specialise in turning complex problems into strategic, customer-centric solutions that align with business goals. I excel in leading end-to-end design processes, from discovery to high-impact implementation, while navigating ambiguity with creativity and a keen eye for detail.
