01 — About Me

Turning curiosity
into innovation.

I believe that every meaningful innovation begins with a question.

My journey started with a fascination for understanding how things work, and evolved into a passion for designing experiences that inspire others to think, create, and solve real-world problems. Today, I work at the intersection of design, technology, and education, where I help learners transform ideas into tangible solutions.

As an IB MYP Design Facilitator and Makerspace Educator, I create learning environments where curiosity is encouraged, creativity is celebrated, and failure is seen as an essential step in the design process. Whether guiding students through robotics, product design, 3D printing, programming, or design thinking, my goal is to develop confident problem-solvers who can make a meaningful impact.

My approach is rooted in human-centered design. Every project begins with empathy, grows through experimentation, and evolves through reflection and iteration.

Great designers don't fall in love with solutions. They fall in love with problems.

02 — My Journey

From the workshop floor to the design studio.

03 — Design Philosophy

Observe. Design.
Prototype. Iterate. Impact.

01

Observe

Start with empathy. Understand the user, the context, and the real problem before reaching for a solution.

02

Design

Generate ideas freely, then narrow with intent — sketches, criteria, and constraints sharpen the concept.

03

Prototype

Make it real, even roughly. A model you can hold teaches more than a page of theory ever will.

04

Iterate

Test, reflect, and revise. Failure is data — an essential step in the process, not the end of it.

05

Impact

Measure what changed — for the user, the learner, or the classroom. That's the point of the work.
