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, colour, and form.

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.

Every object asks: what does it feel like to hold this? To sit here? To live with this?

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.

The screen never forgets. Clay always does. That's why I need both.

Creativity has no fixed language —
only intention.

Across theatre lights, film sets, design studios, and quiet nights with clay and colour, I've learned that the story worth telling lives somewhere between freedom and purpose.

Art teaches me freedom. Design teaches me purpose. And somewhere between the two, I keep finding the story worth telling.

🎭
Art teaches freedom
Performance and light taught me that emotion speaks before words — restraint is its own kind of expression.
🎯
Design teaches purpose
Every logo, product, and interface is a small argument about how the world could work — made visible and usable.
Between the two
I keep finding the story worth telling — both beautiful and functional, felt and understood.
