My Journey so far:

My mission as an industrial designer with a personal connection to disability, is to create products that enhance quality of life, reducing everyday frustrations.

My goal is to empower everyone to focus on life's most meaningful moments and have fun while doing so.

Overcoming the challenge of being born deaf in my right ear, I've leveraged it as an opportunity to make a positive impac.

My creative mindset, meticulous attention to detail, and unique expertise have enabled me to develop creative and innovative solutions that not only meet the needs of individuals but also enhance the lives of all users.

I thrive in collaborative team environments, striving to create products that cater to individual needs while uplifting the lives of humanity as a whole.

I am a Monaural, dyslexic, visual object thinker. Offering unique expertise designing tangible products.

👋

Currently pursuing my master's degree in advanced product design at Umea Institute of Design in Sweden.
