Based in Auckland, I’m a designer working across UX/UI, branding, and digital experiences, with 5+ years of experience in design and 3+ years in marketing.
I recently completed a Master of Design at Media Design School and currently work as a designer at an education agency. Before moving to New Zealand, I spent over four years working in Singapore, following earlier marketing experience in South Korea.
I’m particularly interested in connecting ideas, people, and experiences, translating broad concepts into clear and meaningful design outcomes. My work is shaped by curiosity about human behaviour, communication, and the ways people experience everyday life.
Having lived, studied, and worked internationally over the past decade, while travelling to more than 30 countries, has broadened my perspective on people, culture, and communication. These experiences continue to influence both my approach to design and the way I see the world.
Outside of design, I enjoy travelling, reading, yoga, and going to the cinema.
