I started drawing spiders when I was 5.
Now that I am not 5, my detail-oriented mindset has helped me create cool products for platforms like Snapchat, Intact and various fun startups.
I believe that complex problems invite intentional choices, and intentional choices breed functional solutions. There's a lot of elegance in the process of making stuff beautiful.
My learning process doesn't involve copying sh*t without questioning the rationale or the status quo, when I start mimicking I stop noticing. This made me understand that building purposeful products require some degree of intuition in observing and noticing with the intent to understand.
I'm currently pursuing a bachelor's in UX design and I hope to make even more wonderful things, for wonderful people.
Hit me up on Linkedin or my email :)
Cheers, a designer that isn't 5.
