About me
Design is how I make
people feel something.
Some experiences stay with people like stories. That idea is what draws me toward UX/UI design — creating thoughtful, human-centered experiences shaped by emotion, curiosity, and detail.
Interests & passions
Creating with intention, emotion, and kindness will always matter more to me than simply creating something beautiful

The work
Selected Projects — 2024/26Vision to Sketch
Observational Drawing · Interior Design
A comparison study of a cozy living room corner — captured and hand-sketched. The real-life inspiration features a neutral-toned sofa, textured cushions, and a minimalist arching lamp over a rustic side table. The hand-drawn sketch translates the scene into intricate pen strokes, capturing structure, texture, and the essence of the space.
Café Design — "Do you have a moment?"
Interior Design · Space Planning · Mood Board
A first design project challenging the brief of designing a café using Rayon. The concept — "Do you have a moment?" — places human connection at the heart of every decision. Long communal tables, intimate circular corners, an open kitchen, and thoughtful greenery create a space where strangers become friends and silence holds comfort.
4BHK Residential Design
Space Planning · Zoning · Schematic Design
A residential design project focused on creating a functional and comfortable 4BHK home based on client needs. The design emphasises efficient zoning, privacy, and smooth circulation — dividing spaces into public, private, and service zones across three floors, with schematic diagrams developed through iterative spatial thinking.
The Psychology of Space

Expertise
What I do
UX/UI Exploration
Investigating how people interact with the world to design interfaces that feel genuinely intuitive — not just visually polished, but deeply considered.
Creative Thinking
Approaching every brief with curiosity and an open mind. Connecting unexpected ideas to arrive at solutions that are original, relevant, and memorable.
Visual Design Concepts
Translating ideas into visual languages with a strong sense of composition, colour, and detail — building identities and systems that speak before a word is read.
Thoughtful User Experiences
Designing end-to-end experiences shaped by empathy and emotion — so every interaction leaves people feeling seen, supported, and understood.
