"I believe that design is an organised playground."

Explanation

Vision statement

For me, design isn’t just about functionality or aesthetics—it’s about how systems work, who they serve, and how they shape society and steer our technological future.

Further explanation

As a designer, I aim to bridge human and non-human perspectives, crafting ethical, systemic solutions that transform complexity into clarity. My focus lies in complex workflows, data-driven design decisions, and adaptive interfaces—where design clarifies complexity and empowers both users and stakeholders.
