Lifetime
School of Life
In the wake of a global pandemic, I honed the ability to adapt and thrive through hands-on creation. Embracing the role of a versatile self-marketer, I take pride in my capacity to repair and innovate using basic electronic components. I believe in the power of creative design to not only solve problems but to improve the world around me. By blending innovation with practicality, I strive to create solutions that make everyday life easier, more efficient, and enjoyable. Whether it’s designing products that enhance functionality, rethinking systems to reduce waste, or finding new ways to make technology more accessible, my goal is always to create with purpose—shaping a more sustainable and thoughtful future, one design at a time. I am passionate about design in all its forms, embracing creative solutions that blend style with functionality. A lesson from a cherished mentor has always stuck with me: 'If you can't hide it, feature it.' It’s a philosophy that drives my work and approach. Recently, I’ve also rekindled my love for crafting unique, shiny objects that bring joy to others. For me, beads are more than just for jewelry, and resistors transcend their electronic roots. I see art everywhere—woven into the fabric of the world around us.
