Some of my works
The projects listed below are a sample of my worktime and freetime endeavors. When considering the entire process from the user’s perspective, an item or service doesn’t appeal to the user solely through its marketing material, package, or product design but also through its usability and the way it creates experiences. Because of that, I find it important not only to conceptualize my designs but also to build, test, and experience them myself.
