My Art Works

A lifetime of storytelling through art, design, and imagination.

Act One: The Beginning of a Story

My art journey began by accident at age four, in front of a camera for Kind Moon (1995). Growing up among lights, scripts, and creativity, I learned that emotion moves people not through words, but through subtle gestures. Those early lessons in storytelling still shape the way I design today.

Act Two: From Stage to Space

Later, I moved behind the scenes, designing the worlds where stories come alive. With my team, I crafted theatre stages that let space, light, and rhythm speak louder than words. Theatre taught me what every UX designer eventually learns: experiences are shaped by moments, not objects.

Act Three: Designing for Impact

My canvas kept expanding. I designed logos, posters, and campaigns for UNICEF, films, theatres, and cultural organizations—turning emotion into line, color, and form. I learned that good design doesn’t just look beautiful; it tells a story before words begin.

Act Four: The Shape of Ideas

With a background in industrial design, I sculpted objects, from chairs and glasses to lighting and tables, exploring how form, material, and touch quietly shape everyday life.

Act Five: Hands, Heart, and Home

When I step away from screens and products, I return to painting, pottery, and collages. These moments remind me why I fell for design: curiosity, imperfection, and the pure joy of creating.

Epilogue: The Intersection of Art and Design

Across theatre lights, film sets, design studios, and quiet nights with clay and color, I've learned that creativity has no fixed language — only intention.
