About Me

Welcome to my personal-professional website. I am a Musician by heart, and a Designer by profession or you can call me a design enthusiast with over two decades of experience under my belt. Yep, I've been around the design block for a while. I've tinkered with UX, web development, game design/development, public speaking, building products, heading teams and pretty much everything design-related.

Currently, I focus on design strategy, hands-on UX/Web design, storytelling, brand and product vision, hiring and mentoring design teams.

I love making things look good and work even better. From wireframes to polished mockups, I've had my hand in plenty of projects. Oh, and I've got a soft spot for mentoring new UX Designers – it's my way of giving back to the creative community.
