Tech & Transit Curious
I’ve always been fascinated by how systems move people — from bus stops to backend code. I design with that same curiosity and love for navigation, both physical and digital.

My Design Principles
Accessibility Isn’t an Add-On
Accessibility Isn’t an Add-On I build access into every stage — not as a checklist, but as a mindset.

Clarity Comes First
I design for understanding before anything else. Whether it's a fleet dashboard or a website showcasing air traffic, the user should know what to do without second-guessing- because the site it intuitive, not just a lucky guess.

Curiosity Drives My Process
I ask a lot of questions — not just what users say, but what they really need. I map systems, trace pain points, and test ideas until they click.

Build for the Gaps
I design with edge cases in mind, because the people who are most often left out are the ones who need design most. Access, language, bandwidth, stress- I consider it all.
