MY STORY
MY STORY
I started out as a psychologist, until I realized I wanted to apply my knowledge of human behavior in a more tangible, creative way. That led me to UX design, where I can blend psychology principles with design thinking to build experiences for others.

MY DRIVE
MY DRIVE
I’m fascinated with understanding why people think, feel, and act the way they do. That empathy isn’t just a design principle to me; it’s the foundation for every decision I make.

Revolution is a performance group that uses the Chinese diabolo. Because Chinese yoyo is an extremely difficult art form, Revolution has taught me to always focus on the present moment, regardless of past mistakes.
