In my career as a product designer (UX/UI), I'm passionate about designing experiences and products that touch people and make our world a better place to live. I also love to be creative in my personal life..with clothing, creating arts and crafts, and more. I love being outdoors, running, doing yoga, and using my body. Reading is a huge passion of mine, as is spirituality and mindfulness. I am always looking for experiences that will help me evolve and am recharged by helping others and being around friends. Human connection is the most important thing in my life.
HOW DO YOU EMBRACE DIVERSITY AND/OR UNCONVENTIONALITY?
I embrace diversity with empathy and care. While I used to shy away from asking the wrong questions or sounding “dumb”, I now push myself to always be curious and engaged in my surroundings by asking questions, listening and making an effort to reflect on what I have learned from others.
HOW DO YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF CREATIVELY?
First and foremost with style. I love to dress for how I'm feeling that day, for a specific event, for a specific place. I love playing around with style in clothes and appearance and having fun with it. I also express my self with aesthetic design of spaces. Having a beautiful home that reflects my taste is extremely important to me. On top of that, I am always dabbling in crafts including pottery, textile weaving, and at times writing, drawing and more…
HOW DO YOU THINK YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMMUNITY? WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU ARE AN EXPERT IN AND COULD GIVE ADVICE TO THE COMMUNITY ON?
I am able to contribute in supporting the community by sharing information. When I learn something or find out something interesting, I love to spread that knowledge and share with others, whether that be a scientific article, a meditation retreat, a beauty product that's worked wonders for me. I am able to offer critique and feedback on UX/UI designs and collaborate with others to help uplift them in the design field.
