ABOUT ME

As a designer and researcher, I am deeply interested in how design mediates the relationship between people and the world around them. My curiosity has always centered on understanding how design not only reflects social and cultural values but also drives change within them. As design innovation continues to accelerate, shaping every aspect of our daily lives, it increasingly challenges us to reconsider its role, meaning, and impact.


My background in industrial design has allowed me to explore the convergence of user experience and visual communication. Through iterative design experimentation, I have come to see every design medium as a cognitive interface; one that helps users perceive, understand, and engage more intuitively with their environment. I regard design as a form of communication that transcends visual and material boundaries, fundamentally shaping human perception, emotion, and behavior. In this view, every product should emerge from a deep understanding of user experience, and the integration of UX/UI thinking represents an essential cognitive process for contemporary designers.


My current research investigates the intersection of human experience and contextual perception in design. I am particularly interested in how sensory and emotional experiences influence users’ understanding of design, and how design can facilitate cognitive and affective responses. These questions guide my exploration of design as both a reflective and participatory process—one that connects human empathy with technological innovation.


Collaboration and context are central to my methodology. Whether working within small community projects or large-scale digital platforms, I approach design as a shared process of inquiry and discovery. This approach emphasizes understanding narratives, audiences, and goals before giving them tangible form.

Ultimately, my work aims to bridge the aesthetic, functional, and psychological dimensions of design to foster a more human-centered and empathetic design discourse. I seek to contribute to a deeper understanding of how design can enhance communication, strengthen emotional connection, and create meaningful change across social and technological contexts.
