About Me

I’m a design researcher with over five years of experience. My journey began as an exhibition designer, but over the years I have worked in a variety of different areas, giving me a unique perspective on research and design.

 
My passion for research has enabled me to work with projects from different industries. I specialize in understanding user behavior and needs and applying this knowledge to create business insight and opportunities.
