Through my experience learning about different design fields, I refined my understanding of design principles by seeing them employed in different ways, building my understanding of how they’re used and what makes them effective.

When I am not working, you can find me either drawing, playing video games, listening to music on a brisk walk, or having another coffee and justifying that it's normal to have that many cups per day.

I'm currently a working User Experience Designer, a multi-disciplinary creative with a background in Industrial design; I have branched out to learn more about graphic, visual branding, concept art, motion as well as refining my abilities in user experience and Interface.

Because of my background I tend to do plenty of research on a given topic to improve my understanding of the problem out there and develop potential solutions based on research and ideation.

My start in Industrial design is what gave me an understanding in the fundamentals of design principles, how to conduct research and better empathise with the users or market. Through my experience learning about different design fields, I refined my understanding of design principles by seeing them employed in different ways, building my understanding of how they’re used and what makes them effective.

The reason I decided to pursue UX/UI as it was a nice branch off from Industrial design, figuring out a puzzle with the research i have conducted and then using it to build digital spaces that were engaging and impactful for others.

I also tend to fidget and you might see some examples here to play with.
