As a child, I enjoyed watching my dad fixing his motorbike 🏍️ and myself exploring the insides of old radios 📻 and taking the magnets. I loved being out in nature, thanks to my school for nurturing my interests and giving lifelong friends.
My interest in computer sciences 💻, graphic design and copy-writing landed me opportunities to work with film directors, social activists, and startups. I 🎓 from National Institute of Design in Interaction Design, grounded in the Bauhaus design philosophy.
I'm an imaginative engineer 🔄 designer who thrives on the challenges of the creative process. I try to bring a unique perspective to my work, and my technical expertise and creative skills make me a valuable asset to any product team.❤️
