tech-obsessed designer with real empathy
A creative career spanning multiple countries
My DJI Mavic Pro (drone), aka Metal Gear
As a Product Designer with a rich background in the creative field, I've had the privilege of working across diverse industries for global companies, both locally and internationally, and in remote settings. My typical approach involves collaborative efforts with fellow designers, developers, product managers, and users, aiming to deliver exceptional end products.
Each project I undertake serves as a fresh opportunity to acquire new skills. Collaborating with highly skilled individuals across various fields of expertise, I engage in brainstorming and design processes, fostering a dynamic environment that encourages continuous learning and innovation.

personal interests
I have many interests that actually inspire me in my life and often get intertwined together in unique ways.
I am a huge fan of travel, which lets my other hobbies; photography and creating videos, thrive, as I always have multiple cameras on me for each trip that I take around the globe. As you can see from above my drone is part of this kit, but I also have a lot of small cameras to accompany my larger mirrorless camera.
I am a huge fan of all kinds of games, from board, to tabletop, to video games, and can get quite competitive at them. A few losses will send me into a grind mode to get even better so they never happen again. As for tabletop RPGs, they keep me super creative and I often find myself stopping to write notes of a fictional adventure myself and my players will journey on some day. Video games have been in my life since I was a child, and these days I have found a little success with a YouTube channel dedicated to one of them that I started making content for just for fun.
Finally, I am a major music nerd who loves to listen to multiple genres of music, DJs electronic music, and produces music for my social media content and hopefully to DJ someday in the future.
All of these inspire me in multiple ways and I am often triggered to start some kind of app or program to benefit others who enjoy the same things. Who knows, maybe one day I will actually build something to help others who also share similar hobbies!
