What sets you apart from other designers?

My eclectic background. My scientific training as a cancer researcher shapes my structured processes, makes me comfortable with complex, ambiguous problems, and drives me to explore design solutions at a granular level, while my branding background always keeps me focused on business needs and never lose sight of the forest for the trees.

What kind of stuff gets you excited as a designer?

I've always geeked out over tech, especially hardware. Human-machine Interface is a big passion of mine. Generative AI is another area I am presently invested in. Both share the appeal of being technologically cutting-edge yet need that human touch. That is where designers can really shine.

What's your design superpower?

• My visual sense, thanks to my solid training in branding and graphic design
  

• Highly detail-oriented, able to work at a granular level and uncover overlooked corner cases and considerations
  

• Logic and curiosity-driven, always fine-tuning and optimizating processes and workflow
  

• Thrive in collaboration and super open to feedback
  

What things do you do outside of work?

My big hobbies in life are 🎼 film scoring, 🍅 gardening, and 🎲 playing board games. But if I'm being honest, I probably spend more time on YouTube watching tech news/reviews, film essays, and productivity hacks.
