overthinking my matcha order losing to a climbing wall chasing sunsets like it’s cardio doodling on most photos I take
gravity: 1, me: 0
probably a dolphin in a past life
stepping on crunchy leaves :p

design philosophy

For me, design is play.


Being a Product Designer feels like the perfect “impossible triangle”. It connects what I’m good at, what I love, and a career path full of growth and possibility.


My approach to design is shaped deeply by a personal philosophy that echoes Naval Ravikant’s belief in finding work that feels like play. It’s this mindset that keeps me curious, creative & driven every day.
