About me
No 1 Biography
A creative problem solver who has a curiosity for human behavior. I love working with people and learning what makes them tick. I am passionate about creating positive user experiences and advocating for users through the means of research. My mission is to make the world easier for humans, one idea at a time.
A global citizen who possesses remarkable foreign language skills and intercultural sensibility. Multicultural awareness is vital in understanding and empathising with end users from all parts of the world and collaborating with international clients.
A world traveler who has a thirst for adventure. Aside from user experience and service design, traveling is one of my biggest passions. I love exploring new countries, being outside of my comfort zone, learning about people from all around the globe and picking up new languages. I believe these interactions give me a unique perspective to propel my creative solutions to the next level.
