Who I Am

Designing for Everyday
Impact

I'm a designer aiming to create intuitive solutions that improve how people experience the world, whether in health, education, or everyday interactions. I bring a human-centered approach to projects, using empathy and evidence to solve real problems.

I’m actively building a career in translational research, focusing on phytomedicine and sexual & reproductive health. My work so far has explored how indigenous knowledge and modern science can intersect, to reimagine healthcare outcomes.

Be it through design or research, my goal is to create real impact in people’s lives.
