From Canvas to Code
My journey started with a sketchbook. I spent my school years covered in graphite and colour stains by painting, sculpting, and winning art competitions. That love for visuals led me to a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts (Applied Arts), where I learned the foundations of composition, storytelling, and design thinking long before I knew those terms existed.
As digital media grew, so did my curiosity. While experimenting with advertising layouts and web graphics, I stumbled upon UI/UX design, a discovery that changed everything. I realised my passion wasn’t just about making things look good, but making them feel right.

Aligning all components, layouts and design structures according UI5. Creating life like mockups for seamless experience with real time data gathered from S/4. Frequent design reviews and testing to make the developed version close to proposed design.
My curiosity to understand users beyond interfaces took me to Ireland, where I completed my Master’s in Interaction & Experience Design. While there, I also wore a few different hats — from operations to customer experience — learning what “user experience” really means in the wild.

Beyond the Resume
Outside of work, I’m usually sketching, strumming, mentoring, or planning side projects.
I believe creativity doesn’t stop after office hours, it just changes its form. Whether it’s art, animals, or apps, I like keeping my hands (and mind) busy.
