SERVICES & SKILLS
01 /
SYSTEM THINKING
Understanding complex problems by seeing how all the pieces fit together and influence each other. It's not just about analyzing individual parts; it's about grasping the entire system and finding creative solutions that address its dynamics.
02 /
SPATIAL DESIGNS
I've always been captivated by the power the physical environment has over us, affecting our emotions, comfort, and behaviour. It's an element we can not hide from, and this fuels my eagerness to design, plan, and execute spatial designs that achieve specific outcomes.
03 /
CREATIVE DEVELOPMENTS
I blend strategic thinking with artistic flair to bring imaginative concepts to life across various applications, whether in branding, events, office spaces, or systemic design interventions. I also strongly believe in co-creation with users and clients, an approach I practice in projects.
04 /
RESEARCH & TREND ANALYSIS
My inquisitive nature thrives in research and analysis methods. I gather and analyze data to uncover valuable insights, sometimes collecting data from science but also in first-hand dialogues with the people involved or affected. I aim to provide foundational insights that are actionable recommendations to drive informed decision-making in the field of design.
