About

Hello! I graduated from Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) where I studied Industrial Design. I believe that design is about storytelling and problem solving. I'm eager to bring a positive impact to the society through my design principles.

I'm an observer as well as a maker. I love observing things around me and think about why and how they are made. I think that innovative solution comes with a careful observation.

I'm a learner as well as an initiator. I get inspired and initiate an action with a positive attitude. I am eager to try new things and learn from others. I'm a narrator as well as a thinker. Good design comes from open-minded thinking. I like to approach a problem with different perspectives and communicate my ideas through storytelling.

I design with passion for possibilities.
