About me

A bit about me - where I’ve been, what I do, and how I work.

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
