I studied Industrial Design Engineering.Now I design products across banking, AI, mobility and more — wherever the problem is genuinely hard.

Thinking

How I think

The case studies show what I did. This is how I got there — not a task list, but a sense of the judgment behind each area. Four categories, four different dimensions of the same work.

  • Multi-touchpoint experiences
  • Systems thinking

Making
