STATEMENT OF ART:For me, design is a bridge between functionality and emotion—a powerful medium that connects people with solutions that enhance their lives. I believe that great design transcends aesthetics; it serves as a tool for social good, fostering inclusivity, accessibility, and meaningful interactions. Whether it's through digital experiences or physical products, I strive to create designs that empower individuals, evoke emotions, and contribute to a better society.
Art, on the other hand, is an exploration of human expression. It challenges perspectives, ignites conversations, and helps us understand the complexities of the world around us. I see design as a harmonious blend of art and science, where creativity meets strategy to address real-world challenges. Every design decision should be purpose-driven, reflecting empathy, cultural sensitivity, and a deep understanding of human behavior.
My approach to design is rooted in storytelling and empathy—understanding users' journeys and designing solutions that resonate with them on a personal level. I am passionate about leveraging design to make a difference, from creating digital memorials that help individuals cope with grief to shaping data-driven tools that amplify opportunities for underrepresented voices.
In essence, I believe design should not only solve problems but also inspire, uplift, and empower. It is my mission to continue pushing the boundaries of what design can achieve, combining technology and humanity to create experiences that matter.
