01 / STORY
I come from a hybrid background in design and digital art, where visual storytelling and interaction design naturally overlap. I’ve always been drawn to how people *move through* digital spaces.
I treat interfaces like environments — structured, readable, but full of subtle personality. Every layout, transition, and interaction should guide users while still feeling crafted.
Combining UX logic with game-art sensibility lets me design things that aren’t just usable — they’re memorable, expressive, and a bit unexpected.
02 / SKILLS
Research, wireframing, user flows, prototyping, interaction design, usability thinking.
UI systems, layout, typography, visual hierarchy, design systems, responsive design.
Composition, stylisation, world-building, visual storytelling, attention to micro-detail.
03 / PHILOSOPHY
Good UX removes friction. Great UX adds identity. I aim for both — designing systems that are intuitive first, but layered with enough personality that users actually remember them.
