My journey as a creative force, with design and art embedded in my DNA, is a testament to my lifelong passion for innovation and problem-solving. From the days of sketching superheroes in my childhood to the creation of street art murals in my teens, I've consistently pushed the boundaries of self-expression. My formal high school training in fine art, analogue film development, film production, and graphic design served as the foundation for my skills. Further, my Fine Arts degree introduced me to a myriad of techniques and theories, such as fabrication and furniture making, which expanded my creative horizons. 

Armed with a UX design certificate and a wealth of experience in marketing and design (including technical product design, motion graphics, and graphic design), project management, and product management, I am adept at creating user-centric projects that harmoniously blend aesthetic appeal with functionality. My approach is geared towards delivering engaging, intuitive product experiences that offer unmatched value through a seamless integration of creativity and operational efficiency. 

What truly distinguishes me is my exceptional fusion of creative and logical thinking, which is deeply rooted in meditation and self-awareness. With a diverse background spanning marketing, design, and project management, I possess a comprehensive understanding of the entire process, from inception to execution. This enables me to make informed, efficient decisions and overcome obstacles for teams. My empathetic nature and social work training equip me to tactfully and humbly resolve conflicts. 

As an artist and designer, I possess an innate talent for spatial reasoning, which has allowed me to develop a keen eye for form and structure in my compositions. For instance, in a recent project, I was able to create a visually striking and functional layout for a website and for a video editting project by leveraging my spatial reasoning skills. My work is characterized by harmonious and functional designs, proportionally correct and accurate in perspective, even in intricate anatomically precise figure and life illustrations – all essential skills in design work that you can't learn on a computer but are honed through dedication, passion, and a natural aptitude for creative problem-solving.
