My Passion Projects
Every day I push myself to craft beautiful and intuitive design solutions through human-centered problem solving.
These passion projects showcase this design philosophy by conveying powerful messages with purpose and simplicity.

To me, design is about the experience – collaborating, brainstorming and creating innovative, thought-provoking and aesthetically pleasing designs. I hope you enjoy them!

I challenged myself to design a new feature each week for 2 months. Each feature has been conceptualized from idea, to user flows, UI design and animation.

Daily UI Challenge
Being productive during a pandemic.

The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in a worldwide shutdown where people must work from home and stay indoors as much as possible. I challenged myself to be productive and do one design every day while doing my part of self-isolating. Follow me on Dribble & Instagram to follow my progress.
