Freetime is for teaching?

To me, a great designer goes beyond delivering successful products. There is an unmatched reward in fostering empathy and human connection in the UX realm, through enriching the UX community with education.

Guest Lecturing & hosting workshops

I discover my purpose as a UX educator by remaining down to earth to students as a life long mentor

We partner with global nonprofits to advance tech inclusivity through initiatives like scholarships, public events, and conferences such as ADOBE MAX, SXSW, IDSA, TedX, and many others.
