Product Design & Management

A Brief Note

9 years, 2 countries, and more ambiguous product and design problems than I can count. Along the way, my work expanded from hands-on UX design into design leadership, product strategy, and business growth. These folders hold the highlights, lowlights, and a few things that actually made it into the world.

Essence

Since 2019, I embarked on a personal photography project titled Essence, an ongoing exploration of the fundamental qualities of light, form, and movement. Inspired by Rinko Kawauchi's serene, poetic style.

My work focuses on the fundamental elements of the world as they reveal themselves through light, place, and time. To photograph it is not to stop it, but to witness a brief alignment of color, shape, and rhythm.

In this series, I invite the viewer to shift attention away from objects and toward presence: the water, not its container; the flame, not the lighter. These qualities - light, heat, wetness - are rarely noticed, yet they are constant, forceful, and essential.

A collection of things made to explore an idea, learn a new medium, or simply follow curiosity. These creative practices may live outside my product design work, but they continuously shape how I think and design.
