About
My Career spans over 12+ years, with a background in Architecture + Project Management that helps me approach problems with a people-first approach & "Do less harm".
I try to reflect this in my work.
I try to reflect this in my work.
I always am fascinated by the intersection of art, design, and technology; how good design can evoke emotions. I have a dolphin work style🐬 my best work/thinking often comes aft-daytime.
In a past life, I was a serial design competition enterer, architecture writer and was in a few fellowships, and documented design and travels here
Outside of design, I enjoy discovering new places & spaces.

SYSTEM THINKING
Eveything is a system
When problem-solving, I adopt a holistic perspective to avoid oversimplification by delving beyond surface issues and uncovering their underlying causes.
I am partial to the co-design approach as it helps me make connections across different contexts.

CURIOSITY
Assume Less, ask more
Throughout the design process, I consistently ask questions at every stage, to dive deeper into the problem and question (my) assumptions.
This practice allows me to uncover valuable insights into patterns within the context of the problem.

COLLABORATION
Community>>
I strongly believe in successful solutions emerging through collaborative efforts involving stakeholders and teams, with a focus on prioritizing users & business needs.
I thrive the most in environments where everyone is empowered to express their ideas.
