01 / intro
At first glance, having a clear picture of my professional persona may not be immediate.
Once the dots connect, the trajectory feels clear : my background in architecture, multidisciplinary study, and international collaboration shaped a distinctive profile that naturally evolved into product design for AI-native systems.
I began in architecture, urban research, and visual design, and gradually moved into AI-tech product design. That shift was not a break, but a continuation of the same underlying interest : making complex structures legible, understanding how people move through information, and using design to mediate between technical capability and real-world use.
02 / the drive
The urge to learn has always driven me. In a sense, boredom was my first motive, as Schopenhauer describes it. But in the spirit of Panta Rhei , that discomfort became movement. It pushed me to seek something more — what started as restlessness gradually turned into curiosity, and curiosity became a way of discovering my skills and interests.
The realization that growth happens through change, exploration, and continuous becoming is the principle that fuels my career and my projects.
03 / now
Now I design and build AI-native products that translate complexity into experiences.
I am not only a visual designer and I’m not only a system planner. I am especially drawn to products where design is not only about polishing the frontend, but about shaping the logic, structure, and behavior underneath it.
I work at the intersection of frontend and backend. I plan the system, collaborate, build, and ship products that are never truly final, only temporarily resolved before they re-enter an endless cycle of refinement. Panta Rhei , again.
