💡 Design Philosophy
How I approach design...
...I believe good design should make people feel understood. Whether I'm prototyping a mobile app or mapping out a user flow, I always ask: “Would this make sense to me if I were stressed, distracted, or brand new to this?” My goal is to create experiences that are intuitive, thoughtful, and accessible to everyone, especially those who are often overlooked.

...When I'm not designing, you'll probably find me somewhere with coffee, walking my anxious little dog Theo, or planning my next weekend trip. I love a good thrift find, quiet mornings, and talking to people who are deeply passionate about random things
