Outside my professional realm, you will find me practising archery. It is a beautiful way to hone my focus and hand-eye coordination—key skills for a designer aiming to hit the mark every time! Archery requires precision, patience, and concentration, all of which are essential qualities in my design work. The discipline I develop through archery directly translates to my ability to deliver meticulous and well-crafted designs under tight deadlines.

My educational journey includes a Bachelor's degree in Interior Design and a Master's degree in Graphic and Spatial Design. These qualifications have given me a well-rounded understanding of design principles and visual communication. My studies have provided a solid foundation in both the theoretical and practical aspects of design, allowing me to approach projects with a comprehensive perspective. During my education, I honed my skills in various design disciplines, enabling me to adapt easily to different creative challenges.

In terms of practical experience, I have had the opportunity to work as a designer at WSP Global, a leading professional services firm, and contribute to the marketing team at the University of Surrey. These roles have allowed me to collaborate with diverse teams and manage projects from concept to completion. I have learnt the importance of effective communication and teamwork in achieving successful design outcomes.

Design is the unending muse that colours the world. Without it,
every day would be a monochrome canvas.
