Experience is about the overall feeling of interacting with a product or service. It shapes how people relate to a product, a brand, and the company behind it.
Over the past few years, I’ve worked across multiple design domains. Despite this variety, my goal remains consistent: to craft coherent, friendly, and intentional experiences across all touchpoints — and to translate these well-designed journeys into lasting brand trust.

Product Designer @ BBnana Studio & SideQuest Master Project
To bridge the gap between design theory and practice, I ran the BBnana Design Studio with fellow designers and participated in the development of the SideQuest Master mobile app. These projects offered a valuable context for testing various design tools and applying theoretical knowledge in real-world design scenarios.
