A Bit About Me
I am an experience designer with a background in art that spans over a decade. My love for art began when I worked at my dad's photography business at the age of 13. Since then, I have turned my passion into a career and have been practicing experience design ever since. My work is centered around functionality, user experience, and beautiful aesthetics. I collaborate with my team, product partners, and technology every step of the way to deliver solutions that exceed expectations. Every project is an opportunity for me to showcase my creativity, knowledge, and dedication to the craft.
My Leadership Style
My approach to leadership is built on a foundation of motivation, inspiration, and passion. I believe that by creating a culture of trust through transparency and valuing each other's differences and quirks, we can work together to overcome any obstacle. I encourage risk-taking and defending one's choices with courage, while always appreciating our team and the value they bring to our work. With a focus on watching, learning, and doing, we can continue to build a culture where everyone feels safe to challenge one another and move mountains every day.
