About
I'm a multidisciplinary artist based in Philadelphia and Dubai. At the moment, I am a student-athlete at Haverford College double majoring in Growth and Structure of Cities and Fine Arts. I am passionate about making a transformative impact and improving the lives of others through a human-centered approach and innovative design thinking. I'm constantly learning new things everyday and love connecting with people who are motivated and share their ideas with the world.
I am a self taught designer and I am curious about the different ways of creative thinking. A few arcs of wonderful things I enjoy are:
👾 Testing the ways and limits of design thinking
🪐 Experimenting and applying design expertise
🚀 Working on products end to end, from ideation to development.
I have learnt a lot of the processes, concepts and theories of UX/UI and product design through attending workshops, reading blogs and applying these to projects in my spare time and at work. I am very much a big-picture thinker and I want to go beyond just designing websites and brand identities but to actually create compelling design solutions and launch ventures or startups.
