A knack for all kinds of research, design, mentoring, and guiding others into the industry is just a sneak peek into who I am. From e-commerce, social entertainment, to educational technology and beyond, my horizon is only beginning to open up... .. and I'd love to be a part of your company's journey in creating impact for your users. Have a look around! 👀
