About Me

Learn some more about me.

My Journey

My journey into game and UI design began in college, where a computing course allowed me to create my first game and website. These projects ignited my passion for designing engaging user experiences, a pursuit I continued to refine at university through solo and collaborative projects that expanded my creative boundaries.

Today, I am a Junior UI/UX Web Designer at X-on Health, where I further refine my skills by contributing to a live product and collaborating with a dynamic, multidisciplinary team.

Personal Interests

Outside the digital world of games and UI/UX design, I find balance through weightlifting, a physical and mental reset that sharpens my focus. I also collect vinyl records, appreciating the experience of physical media and the artistry of album covers; their aesthetics, typography, and design choices often influencing my own work. In addition, I enjoy caring for my houseplants, bringing greenery into spaces, such as my flat which might otherwise feel plain or lifeless.

Returning to a digital space, I possess a lifelong passion for gaming and video editing. I enjoy exploring new games and creating personal projects for myself and my friends in the form of videos, with plans to expand into YouTube content.
