About

I am a digital product designer and photographer. I believe Design is multi-disciplinary, people-centered, and experimental. My work combines UI/UX, product design, graphic design, branding, motion graphics, photography, and technology to drive comprehensive product strategies across diverse platforms. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working at companies like Airbnb and Ford, where I have contributed to multiple internal and external design projects that have reached thousands of people on a global scale. Through these experiences, I have witnessed the transformative power of design, which manifests in the creation of innovative content capable of driving social change at scale.
