Storyteller driven by Visual Craft

I'm a self-taught Product Designer based in Toronto, Canada. I love building software that drives positive impact through data-driven, innovation and strategy. I’m equally passionate about the craft – the finely executed details that enhance the aesthetics that communicates with the eyes and visually resonate with users.

Inspired by Tech Innovations

Throughout my life, I've always been excited about technology. My fond memories interacting with new gadgets shaped who I am today and drive my curiosity to exploring new avenues of innovation. The latest tech that has really hit me with a sense of nostalgia and innovation is the 'Sony NW-ZX707 Walkman'.

Bridging Design and Passionate Connections

In my downtime, I tap into art exhibitions, architecture, fashion brands, typography and some design communities to further inspire my skills while experimenting with new approaches to visual problem solving. I love connecting with others on a personal level and building strong bonds that support each others' growths.

Books, Cafés, and Kanji: My Multifaceted Pursuits Outside Design

I'm dedicated to studying the Japanese language. I've been learning on my own for the last 4 years through language exchange and started to study formally since Sept 2023. I cleared the Japanese Language Proficiency Test N4 in the following December. I also enjoy reading books and visiting new cafes around the city in my free time.

Recovering Sneakerhead

I've amassed an unhealthy amount of sneakers over the past few years. I'm a huge fan of the stories behind sneakers and its creative expression through collaboration with brands outside of the footwear industry. My recent favorite pairs consist of the Nike Vomero 5s, New Balance 990v6, and Nike CDG Foamposites.
