Systemised thinker. Particularly strong in bringing structure and order into chaos. Gets excited about looking at data and synthesising with research insights. Enjoys the rigour of visual iterations. Passionate about A11Y in digital spaces.
I'm great at quick iterations and I quite like the rigour. I'm so fast that I'm learning to slow down—to pause, think and learn to start questioning the 'why'.
I'm efficient, but impatient. I'm unlearning my speed and relearning the unhurried deliberate charm of designing.
"You're really fast.... play to your strength of efficiency."
Pranav Kosori, Co-founder and CTO at Flic, Stockholm — parting words as I wrapped up my one year internship. Speed has always been a double edge sword for me.

Team player? Too easy.
"I'm a team player" says everyone. Yawn... Team player is easy. But I take it up a notch. I foster collaboration, bring people together, rally a team and achieve goals.
I've a proven track record of fantastic working relationships with engineers. I'd say it's natural—but it's the intentional effort to understand their challenges and hard work at closing every feedback loop.
Truth is, I just got lucky with all the great engineers I've worked with.
Spoke about design documentation at a conference with 1700+ desginers, engineers and PMs. Very cool.
I moved the entire Carousell's product design team, system and workflow from Sketch to Figma—transforming how cross-functional teams collaborate and creating an #opendesign culture.
I convinced my designers. I toppled the incumbents. I'm influential as heck!
