About

More than a product designer — a digital problem solver and storyteller.

I studied Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Landmark University, and that background never left me: I approach design the way an engineer approaches a system — map the problem, understand the constraints, then build the simplest thing that works beautifully.

For the last six years I've designed web and mobile products across fintech, food-service operations, travel, and consumer social — most recently at Vendease, where the restaurant platform I designed is used by more than 3,000 businesses every day.

In 2026, I believe the best designers ship. I use Claude and modern AI tooling to take my ideas past the prototype — writing real code, deploying real products, and closing the loop between “designed” and “launched.” You can see those experiments in The Lab.

Outside of work I run Salt and Light, a community for Christian creatives. I speak, I write, and I will happily lose an afternoon to anime or football.
