About
Introduction
From an early age, creativity has played a central role in my life. During school, I explored crafts and artistic projects, which naturally led me to pursue a secondary education in design.
During my voluntary social year, I developed a strong motivation to use design as a way to support people by making everyday situations clearer and more intuitive. I became interested in how thoughtful design can reduce friction and allow people to focus on what truly matters. This perspective shaped my Bachelor’s studies in Digital Product Design and Development, where I combined design thinking methods with technical skills in programming and microcontrollers. Through hands-on, user-centered projects, I learned how to rapidly prototype ideas and design with empathy and purpose.
Currently, in my Master’s program in Strategic Design, I am building on this foundation by deepening my research skills and exploring future-oriented and strategic perspectives. I focus on balancing innovation with feasibility, aiming to design solutions that are not only possible, but also meaningful, responsible, and grounded in real-world contexts.
