Who I am beyond Design

More than being a designer, I'm a cook by day and a cinephile by night, constantly cooking up new stories in my head, 24/7.

My philosophy? Every creative act—whether it's cooking or watching a movie—is an experience in itself. It’s up to us to approach it in a way that makes it truly memorable.

My Journey as a Designer

In my final year of undergrad, amidst the whirlwind of completing my final project and preparing applications for graduate schools in the U.S. and Canada, I found myself stepping into an unexpected opportunity—an internship at Envision, a European startup creating smart glasses for the visually impaired.

It was here that I truly began to see the profound impact design could have. I got the chance to immerse myself in the world of inclusive design, shaping solutions that could make a real difference. This moment helped me gain confidence in becoming a designer with a cause.

Looking ahead

In September 2023, I came to McMaster University to pursue Masters in Engineering Design. I was fortunate enough to work with a Major Consulting firm in United States and a B2B company in Toronto.

As I reflect back on my journey, I believe consistent efforts and persistence always pays off. And I wish to continue working hard to be the better version of myself everyday.
