Design Leader +
Innovation Consultant
I’ve been many designers: from a graphic designer to an art director, from an illustrator to a campaigner. From content lead, brand creator, UI designer, UX researcher, to AI-whispering product lead and life-centred innovation consultant. And now to design leader. Like many wiggly-careered designers, my curiosity for what’s coming leads the way.
