My love for design began long before I knew it had a name. As a kid, I could spend hours sketching, painting, folding paper into random origami shapes, or experimenting with calligraphy. My handwriting wasn’t great, so reading it was more like a puzzle.

Everything shifted when I got my first computer at ten. I opened MS Paint and felt like I had entered another world. I taught myself Photoshop through random YouTube tutorials and made silly little animations in Adobe Flash. That’s when I realised how technology could take imagination and turn it into something that actually exists.

While studying computer science, I came across UX design. It just made sense. It was the one place where creativity, logic, and problem-solving finally met. Since then, I’ve been hooked on designing things that look good and work even better. When I’m not designing, I’m either behind my camera or listening to rap. Photography helps me slow down and notice the small things, while rap reminds me how rhythm and storytelling can move people. Both shape the way I see and create.
