About me

Hey there! Thanks for scrolling by. 👋🏼

I’m a forever curious designer that geeks out on behavioural psychology, weird emojis and bad puns. I'm a strong believer in cross-functional collaboration and lifelong learning.​

Currently obsessing over urban design and community living. I also doodle, bake and cycle.
