Finding balance

Travel & Exploration:

Always looking for new perspectives

Travel has been one of my biggest teachers. Exploring new places, cultures, and people helps me see the world differently—and those perspectives often inspire how I approach design and problem-solving.

Every journey, big or small, reminds me to stay open-minded and to design with empathy for perspectives beyond my own.

FOOD:

The place I slow down and experiment

Cooking and food have always been a big part of my life. I love trying out new cuisines when I travel, and I enjoy experimenting in the kitchen just as much. It’s a space where I can unwind, be creative, and share something with the people around me.

Ramen is my go-to comfort food, but I’m always curious to learn new recipes and explore flavors I haven’t tried before.

What drives me:

Creativity with purpose

I’ve taught robotics and prototyping to underprivileged kids, an experience that shaped how I think about creativity and impact.

It reminded me that design isn’t just about building things, it’s about enabling others to dream and achieve more.

Work Ethic & Collaboration:

Grounded, curious, and always building together

I’m someone who loves working hard and diving deep into what I do. Seeing progress gives me real joy, and I thrive in collaborative spaces where I can contribute, guide, and learn.

Family keeps me grounded, giving me the energy to put my best into everything else.

Passion Projects:

Exploring AI tools and playful side builds

Outside of professional projects, I enjoy tinkering, whether it’s experimenting with the latest AI tools, prototyping new ideas, or building small side projects just for fun.

These explorations keep my creativity sharp and remind me why I love making things.

Strategic & Systems Thinking:

Connecting the dots, not just solving problems

I enjoy zooming out to see the bigger picture. Whether it’s designing products, mapping user journeys, or thinking through complex workflows, I approach challenges as systems with interdependent parts.

This mindset helps me create solutions that are not only functional, but also scalable and impactful in the long run.
