03/ About Me
For me, design brings together everything I value - logic, empathy, and the joy of building something meaningful.
Mathematics has always been my favourite subject. It taught me to question assumptions, look for evidence, and keep asking “why?” until I found an answer. At the same time, I was a naturally creative kid - always crafting, experimenting, and finding joy in making things with my hands.
My curiosity for how things work and my love for problem-solving naturally led me to study Mechanical Engineering. I loved understanding systems, navigating complexity, and learning how ideas take shape in the real world. Engineering taught me to be process-oriented, think in structures, and stay grounded in practicality.
Over time, I found myself drawn to design for the balance it holds between analytical and creative thinking. For the past five years, I’ve been exploring the field of design - learning, experimenting, and uncovering its vast potential. I am now looking for my next adventure!
