2020: Touched Figma for the first time in my high school computer class.
2021: Hustled on Fiverr and landed my first remote client as a teenager
2022: Started my university degree in Interaction Design. Leads were slow, but I kept building.
2023-2024: Big breakthrough! A US lawyer brought me on to design his Legal SaaS platform. Balanced this with uni for a year.
2024-2025: Joined a Web3 domain registrar as a Product Designer. Shipped ambitious updates right up until the company was acquired.
2026: The big leap. After partnering with 10+ startups worldwide, I decided to launch my own product design studio with backing from my uni venture capital!
I love building products with a deep attention to detail that users actually enjoy using. I couldn't be more grateful for how the stars have aligned. Time to make them shine even more✨
