I began my design journey by learning from YouTube and online courses, practicing, experimenting, and figuring things out on my own. That curiosity led to my first real project, designing a peer-to-peer rental app. Since then, I’ve worked across proptech, edtech, fintech, and crypto, designing clarity out of chaos, crafting products that simply make sense. From helping to build Crib (a proptech startup) from the scratch, to studying design at the University of Edinburgh, to now building an AI Math Tutor at CodeChef that makes learning playful, adaptive, and human, each step has deepened my belief that design sits at the intersection of strategy, empathy, and impact. Outside of work, I love exploring startups, reading, working out, and chasing new adventures, always curious, always learning.
