The person behind the pixels

Why I do, what I do

[ HOW DESIGN CHOSE ME ]

While everyone else kept walking, I was still standing there

While everyone else kept walking, I was still
standing there

As a kid, I was the one who stopped to stare. At a poster. A storefront. The way someone arranged flowers in a window. While everyone else kept walking, I was still standing there trying to figure out why it worked. Why it made me feel something.

That instinct was always there. Art and design, to me, have never just been visual. They are a rush of adrenaline, a moment of stillness, a quiet kind of meditation all rolled into one. I grew up believing that beauty is everywhere, and that noticing it is its own kind of practice.

I want to give people an experience. Not just a screen that works, but a moment that lands.

[ THE PIVOT ]

I almost made film my world

Art Direction was my graduation project. Immersive, cinematic, deeply visual. I loved it. But shortly after graduating, I made a deliberate bet on UX. Not because I loved film less, but because I realized UX gave me something film could not: the freedom to move. To be creative across industries, contexts, scales. To design and think and build, all at once. It was the right risk, and it paid off.

My design philosophy has not changed since I was a kid staring at that storefront. I want someone to open something I built and feel a flicker of excitement. That childlike amazement when something is just good. Aesthetics are not decoration to me. They are the whole point.

Stay a while..
Stay a while..

[ SWEET RITUALS ]

Small things run your life before big things do

My grandmother taught me that small things run your life before big things do. If you make your bed the moment you wake up, you have already made a decision. You have told yourself: I am in control today. That stuck. I am a cleanliness person. Organized spaces, clear surfaces, everything in its right place. It is not perfectionism, it is peace of mind. My environment is how I think.

Every morning, between 7 and 8, I sit on my balcony with my husband, a cup of coffee brewed properly from a kettle, in a mug I actually love, because I am a sucker for aesthetics in every corner of my life. That hour is non-negotiable. It sets the tone for everything after it.

[ THE NOMAD LIFE ]

We do not just visit places. We live in them.

My husband and I are digital nomads. Both remote, both restless in the best way. Three months in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Three months in Vietnam. Da Nang and then Hoi An, a city so culturally layered it stays with you long after you leave.


We do this to collect perspectives.

To sit inside someone else's rhythm for a while and let it reshape how we see things. We plan to keep going for as long as we are young enough to make it weird.

[ WHILE YOU ARE HERE ]

The pixels are nice, but have you seen the paintings?

I paint when I need to think with my hands instead of my head. Digital nomad nowadays, mostly. Bold colors, loose strokes, the kind of work that does not ask permission. If you have made it this far, you should probably see that side too.

[ END TRANSMISSION ]

Glad you are here.

This site is not just a portfolio. It is a living, breathing collection of everything I care about: design that moves people, art that surprises them, and a life built around curiosity. Thanks for reading all the way through. That means something.

  • Don't be shy, Say Hi

I’m currently available for new work, let me know if you need a digital designer. I’d love to talk about the next big thing!
