About

I’m calm and reflective with a natural inclination towards thinking and crafting. I thrive on enabling others and approach challenges with empathy, always considering the perspectives of those around me. My style is never forced, allowing for organic and effective problem-solving. I seek humour wherever I can—I believe it's critical for our survival.

My passions and interests outside of work create a foundation of inspiration that fuels my creativity and shapes my vision for how products should help people.
