Career Break
Since 2023, I have been operating as an independent designer, focusing on freelance projects, NPO collaborations, and entrepreneurial ventures.
This period allowed me to sharpen my ability to build from 0 to 1 and deepened my creative sense. I am now eager to bring this diverse perspective back to a high-impact, cross-functional product team to build scalable solutions together.
