Who I am
My passion for empathizing with and understanding people uniquely supports my work in the design field. It enables me to grasp clients' needs deeply and create the most effective design solutions.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts with a focus on psychology. This combination allows me to merge my understanding of human behavior and cognitive processes with the principles of design, resulting in empathetic and innovative designs.
