About Me

I am a 22-year-old British industrial designer based near London, currently working as a Design and Technology Technician.

What sets me apart is the international perspective I bring into my work. Growing up with a multicultural background and travelling extensively has shaped the way I approach design — helping me become more observant, adaptable, and open-minded when solving problems. Driven by curiosity and inspired by ambitious designers and high-performing teams, I’m focused on creating meaningful products that feel intuitive, refined, and purposeful through research, prototyping, and iteration.

Outside of design, I’m passionate about photography, travelling, and constantly learning new things. Experiencing different cultures and perspectives continues to influence the way I observe details, think creatively, and approach design challenges.
