I've never been one to shy away from entertaining curiosity or personal drive to understand situations beyond my own reality. This pursuit took me to Europe, where I lived for nearly a decade and began my design career, working across global markets and collaborating with cross-cultural teams from the very start.

That experience formed my strategic human-centered design approach. I attribute this to having led countless 1-1 research interviews across Europe, fostering cultural awareness through on-the-ground ethnographic research, developing systems thinking from wayfinding through complex bureaucracies, and skilled communication by finding clarity within ambiguous challenges.

I also maintain an interactive art practice that explores how invisible forces such as emotion, surveillance, time, and attention can become tangible through immersive embodied experiences and generative systems.
