I did not begin my journey as a designer.

My early years were spent in hospitality, welcoming guests, solving small problems, and noticing how tiny details could change how someone feels. That was my first exposure to experience design, even though I did not have that language yet. I learned that people remember how things made them feel more than what was said or sold.

As I moved through this world, I started paying attention to products with the same curiosity. Why did travelers struggle at check in? Why did booking systems feel so confusing? Why did some services feel smoother than others? Slowly, I began to understand that design was not only about graphics, it was about reducing effort for people, shaping behavior, and making choices clearer. This realization pulled me into UX.

Transitioning from hospitality to design was not glamorous.

I taught myself tools, practiced UI layout at night, studied how systems behave, and treated every case study like a real product challenge. The more I learned, the more I saw the connection between my past training and my current path. Hospitality had already trained me to care about context, users, flows, and trust. Design became a natural extension of that mindset.

Today I work as a product designer who cares about usability, visual clarity, and how experiences quietly remove friction from people's lives. My projects reflect this balance of empathy and execution.

My goal is to build products that are useful, honest, and thoughtful. Products that make sense in the world and leave people a little better than they found them.
