From nuts and bolts to pixels and vectors, I'm a mechanical engineer turned designer, now building interactions between machines and humans!
I've got a multidisciplinary approach to problem-solving, using systems thinking and design thinking to build better solutions. I love translating solutions with visual design and interactions, and my interests include user-centered design, user research, information design, and UI design.

Key takeaways from my master's are:
User-Centered Approach: Prioritizing end-user's needs, goals, and experiences is key we learn.Thorough research,guides the design process to deliver a satisfying user experience.
Systems Thinking: Learning systems thinking helps me understand how different components interact within a larger context. This approach helps me identify interdependencies and design solutions that address complex challenges.
Design Thinking: Cultivating a mindset of creativity, empathy, and collaboration is essential for me.By Employing iterative processes it helps me to generate innovative solutions with a human-centric perspective.
Design Paradigms: Exploring different design principles, aesthetics, and philosophies of different eras broadened my perspective. This knowledge helps me create designs that are functional, visually appealing, and culturally relevant with time.

Product Design Launchpad
Mar 2022 - Jul 2022
During a 4-month UX design cohort, I learned design thinking and gained hands-on experience in creating personas, conducting user research, and crafting user journeys. Visual design played a pivotal role throughout the cohort, allowing me to enhance user experiences, and I frequently collaborated with peers to receive valuable feedback. In addition to design thinking, I developed skills in wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the UX design lifecycle.
