Past few years
My Story.
From architecture to designing fintech products that simplify decisions.
Early Years
2017 - 2022
Architecture & Systems thinking
Art, design, and making things have always been part of my life. I grew up drawn to movies, music, and anything expressive.
I noticed beauty early, in a way that stayed with me. Craft felt natural. Building things did too.
The shift
2023 - 2025
From space to human experience
Architecture came from that place. I liked working with my hands, thinking through form, and turning ideas into something real.
Architecture strengthened that instinct, but it was my curiosity about how people experience things that eventually led me to UX design.
Stepping into Product
Aug '25 - Jan '25
Product Design Intern @ Univest
For 6 months, I made Univest my home, as a Product/UX/Visual design Intern. It's been fast, slightly chaotic, and very rewarding — the kind of experience that teaches you more by doing than by being told.
The Rising Star Award — awarded as an intern for my outstanding performance and ownership.
