In my final year of engineering, I found myself drifting, unsure of what truly excited me. Watching my brother build things with code, I was curious and soon embarked on the path of front-end development. But while working on a project during the pandemic, I had an epiphany: I kept wondering what shaped the product before the code. That’s when I stumbled upon product design, and it just clicked. It wasn’t just about how things looked, but how they worked, how they felt. That moment marked the beginning of my design journey, and I haven’t looked back since.

With a lifelong pull toward the arts—painting, sketching, and music, creativity has always been my compass. Lately, I’ve been exploring pottery too, and I didn’t expect it to be so grounding. There’s something about the spinning wheel and shaping clay that’s calming, messy, and beautiful all at once. It reminds me that patience and process matter, just like in design.
