A reflective designer with a service design mindset.
I see design as a way of thinking and I believe that design is deliberate.
These experiences have helped challenge my biases and have given me a broader perspective which guides my research and design work. Having worked on end-to-end projects, I have developed an understanding of how the parts affect the whole.
As a people person, I like hearing and sharing stories, and I look forward to new experiences. Always.
I have tried my voice in dramatics, performed street plays, I like swimming and I sometimes paint. I have tried learning guitar and now I play some chords on the fourth Sunday of the odd months.
I truly believe experiences are the most important things in life, they can make a slumdog, millionaire they put a million ideas into your head.
A girl of many trades and a quick learner, I can be found debating, controlling my laughter or dancing weirdly at random places. I love coffee, the smell of a new book, star gazing, the sound of a waterfall, meeting new people and standing for the things I believe in.
Currently, I am:
Learning to be a plant mom, growing my coffee knowledge, finding art on the streets and sketching on napkins.
Reading: Speculative Everything & To Kill a Mockingbird
Listening to: Simon and Garfunkel
I am an extrovert finding stories in people, places and things. Striving to build accessible and equitable experiences, I am always keen to understand people, their world and their problems. I want my actions to change lives and broaden smiles.
I bring service design approach to most things I do, which means I am good with details and I see connections. I have been practising human-centred design for 6 years now and have tried to apply my learnings in different contexts from a scale-up, a startup, and consultancy to research labs and NGOs, working in interdisciplinary teams.
