My journey began long before I picked up a design tool—I’ve traveled to 10+ countries, exploring how culture shapes human thinking and behavior.When COVID hit, my empathy naturally drew me to small business owners and individuals striving to make an impact. With my skills, I helped 50+ clients—from building brands, MVPs, and products to designing logos and graphics. But I realized that while I loved creating, I wanted to grow in ways that truly connect with people.During my time away from the corporate world, I noticed a common thread among peers: loneliness, disconnection, and an overreliance on screens. That insight led me to co-found Meetomate, a platform connecting users through shared hobbies and real human interaction.In 2026, I expanded my perspective further—learning from babies, kids, and seniors to understand human behavior across generations. Becoming a caretaker and mentor was transformative; it deepened my empathy and taught me the real power of human connection.Now, I’m ready to bring this experience back to the corporate world—as a UI/UX designer who doesn’t just design interfaces but designs for humans.
