Design vision

As a designer and teacher, I firmly believe that education should not only transfer knowledge, but also empower individuals and groups to learn and grow. In my design work, I prioritise the facilitation of user-user interactions, recognising their crucial role in the learning process.

Through my designs, I guide the learning process to empower learners both as individuals and as a group. By fostering collaboration and taking a holistic approach to design and education, I strive to create products and experiences that not only meet functional requirements but also support personal growth and development. I am passionate about using design to create positive change and inspire lifelong learning.

My Process

As a designer, I prioritize organization and always begin my design process with a detailed plan. Throughout my work, I place a strong emphasis on user involvement, concept development, business opportunities, and a solid theoretical foundation.

In addition to my design skills, I am also highly proficient in programming, rapid prototyping, and designing electronic interactions. I believe in utilizing a multidisciplinary approach to design and am constantly seeking to expand my skill set to create innovative and effective solutions.
