Why am I a designer?

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been painting or drawing, with arts and creative hobbies being my companions. I went to high school that specialized in fine arts and later pursued higher education in industrial design, where I discovered service design. I was captivated by its approach to improving experiences. This again led me to the world of UX, and I haven’t looked back since. It’s a field where there's always something new to learn, making it an exciting and fulfilling career.

What I do in my free time

I’m pretty scarce with free time or ‘me-time’ these days since my +1 son keeps me occupied. But this has resulted in new child minded creativity, figuring out what new fun and engaging activities we shall do next - keeps my mind and spirit young for sure!

If a chance arrives I like to practice piano, go to exercise, grab a book or draw to unwind. What keeps me going is simply a big cup of filter coffee.
