About
I’m lucky to have worked with both in-house and consultative design studios, in Asia, America, and Europe, with experience throughout the entire product creation process.
Less is more; I believe that through a deep understanding of the user and their environment, we can create relevant, rich and serendipitous experiences (more).
I create stories to drive and inspire the creative process, and influence my work through observation, things, moments and people's behaviors in the everyday. -
