My Background
I started out as an illustrator before gradually transitioning into design. Along the way, I explored a range of disciplines—from graphic design to learning design—but UX is where I found the most enjoyment and interest. I later joined Custom Neon, where my role shifted more toward sales, and design took a back seat. That said, the motivation to return to it has never really left.
Outside of work, I train in MMA and teach self-defence classes, which I find both challenging and rewarding. I also make time for friends and travel whenever I can—I prefer to keep life busy and varied.
I love…
