Who I am

I am a versatile designer who thrives at the intersection of technology, design, leadership, strategy, and human interactions. I am an optimistic enthusiast who likes to have fun even when things go sideways. I’m curious by nature and absorb learnings from others. I love cycling in the nature and walking in the mountains. At home, I listen to music and take care of my plants.
