From tactile to interfaces
From tactile to interfaces
From tactile to interfaces
Alongside my work as a designer, I pursue a personal art practice, focused on meaningful, tactile expression through glass, ceramic and printing. My research explores the porous boundaries of the body as a collective, relational space shaped by intimacy, care, and external forces. These works reflect the tension between emotional entanglement and the structured patterns of the mind. As a UX/UI designer, I bring this same sensitivity into my practice, crafting systems that balance emotional nuance with clarity and structure.

My artistic practice deeply informs how I approach design. Working with physical materials and conceptual themes have sharpened my sensitivity to nuance, structure, and emotional resonance. This mindset shapes how I build digital experiences: I approach interfaces as spaces where clarity meets complexity, and where form must serve both function and feeling. The same curiosity and intentionality that guide my creative process also drive me to design thoughtful, human-centered systems.

Empathetic Systems
Empathetic Systems
I navigate complexity with empathy, aware that systems are inhabited by people with layered, emotional contexts

Fluid Structure
Fluid Structure
I’m drawn to interfaces that hold space for fluidity and ambiguity, while still offering clarity and structure

I approach design tools and methods as expressive, intentional choices, not just functional ones
