Excel. During college, I had a real thing for math, and when I discovered Excel during my business degree, it was love at first sight. Creating spreadsheets for my last manager became one of my favorite parts of the day. I didn’t just build them, I made sure they were intuitive, so no one needed me around to explain how they worked. Clarity was always part of the challenge, and I loved that.

Tattooing. As a good creative soul, I’ve always loved tattoos, they’re like wearable stories. One quiet Friday night, I challenged myself and ordered a full tattoo kit. I started sketching, learned to trace designs on skin, and got hooked. What moved me most wasn’t just the art, but hearing people’s stories and translating them into something permanent. It was a beautiful collision between creativity and human connection.

Fashion. My first diploma was in fashion design, long before I went digital, I was stitching ideas together with fabric and thread. At the time, I didn’t even realize how much I needed creativity to feel alive. Once I stepped into the world of creation, I never looked back.

Oil painting. It’s messy, chaotic, and deeply therapeutic. Unlike digital design, I let go of rules and flow freely on the canvas, no wireframes, no structure, no expectations. Just color, emotion, and space to breathe.

Working across cultures changed my life. In my last role, I was so passionate about product sourcing and development that I learned English just to connect with international suppliers. I dove into import laws, market trends, and global logistics. Eventually, I traveled to China to meet new partners, not just as a designer, but as a bridge between ideas and opportunities. That journey reshaped how I see design: as something that can connect people far beyond visuals.

Because everything I’ve done, from building spreadsheets to designing fashion to developing products, has always been about people. UX brings together everything I love: solving problems, creating beautiful experiences, and making life easier with meaning behind every decision.
