About
"Eye-catching, enticing, appealing": all the elements needed to catch our attention. However, what people need is more than surface-level design. People deserve someone who will care to personalize a solution for them. Someone always willing to learn. Someone who will keep humans at the center of design. So, I’d like to change those words to “empathy, research, and creating a memorable experience.”
Quality user research and human-centered design are what I strive for in my work. Seeing the problem from the user’s perspective is essential when designing for a client. As an emerging human-centered designer with fresh ideas, I want to use any power I have to provide the right solutions and be the someone who listens. -
