About me

My passion for design started at a very early age. My mother worked as an architect and decorator and had amazing art books at home. One of my favorites was a collection centered on Bauhaus, and I used to flip through its pages with delight and curiosity. 

These early influences sparked my interest in design and how things are crafted and set me on a trajectory of studying design, first in high school at 16, then through university, and continuing up to the present day. I was driven by a desire to comprehend how the design of things influences the way people interact with products and services, recognising the profound power of design in shaping experiences.

Design is not a profession – design is a lifestyle and I feel fortunate to play a part in shaping the world around us.

What else inspires me?

Music, nature and geometry

When I’m not immersed in the world of product design, you’ll find me chasing two fun hobbies: illustration and music. I draw tons of inspiration from music, nature, and geometry – they’re like my creative fuel! Strumming the guitar is a recent adventure and I’m still working on finding my groove. 

These hobbies aren’t just for fun though. They actually make me a better designer. Illustrating helps to keep my visual balance skills in tune, while the rhythm of music is a great trigger to put my mind in flow for working through complex problems. The patterns in nature and the structure of geometry? They guide me in creating interfaces that are both intuitive and visually pleasing.

Creativity and design play a huge role in my life <3
