I approach design processes by closely collaborating with stakeholders and experts, using contextual data to understand behavior, identify patterns, and support meaningful conversations. I enjoy working across disciplines and fulfilling multiple roles throughout a project — from researcher to designer to developer. This horizontal way of thinking helps me connect dots between domains and ensure that the essence of the project and users' needs aren't lost in handovers.

My knowledge across these domains enhances my creativity. Understanding what’s technically possible allows me to design with intention, while a deep understanding of design helps me protect the core user experience during technical decision-making. This back-and-forth between design and development is where I find the most meaningful and feasible solutions.

I’ve built a toolbox that spans both design and engineering — from contextual research and UX design to full-stack development. But I don’t believe in fixed toolsets. I enjoy stepping into new environments and learning what’s needed to make an idea work — whether that’s a new programming language, an AI implementation, a prototyping method, or a completely unfamiliar context. For me, the goal is always the same: to choose the right tools for the challenge at hand, and use them to build something that truly works.

Beyond the tools, I value people and the energy we bring to projects. I’m naturally empathetic and make people feel at ease — whether I’m interviewing users, running a co-creation session, or collaborating with developers. I’ve often been told that my positive attitude is contagious, and I see that as an important part of how I build momentum and joy in a team.
