HOW I DESCRIBE MY PROFESSIONAL SELF
I am a human-focused designer with a design thinking background who strives to create experiences that are both meaningful and wonderful. I love being thrown into the deep end, taking on challenges as they're thrown at me and wearing many hats when needed – that's where the mad/keen fits in!
