As a UX designer and researcher, I take pleasure in delving into the complexities of the human mind and emotions that influence behaviour. This enables me to go beyond surface-level issues to uncover genuine human needs. I navigate this path by drawing from a solid understanding of emotional design, behavioral design, design thinking, strategy, and usability.
My extensive experiences and strong foundational knowledge has honed my skills, empathy and EQ to ensure an inclusive and human-centered approach. This allows me to mindfully design solutions that bridge user & business needs, resulting in an overall fulfilling experience.
I fuel my passion for mindful living, creativity, and curiosity for learning by sharing my knowledge about the intersection of digital technology and psychology. I advocate for a mindful approach in design for digital creators and promote conscientious use of digital platforms for digital natives.
