Area of Focus
Beyond aesthetics, design is about crafting meaningful experiences that resonate with people on a deeper level. I believe in a holistic approach that considers not only how a product or service looks, but also how it feels, functions, and impacts users’ lives. By focusing on creating meaningful experiences, I aim to design solutions that truly make a difference.
- The ways in which design is changing our culture and society.
- The implications of conversational AI for our future.
- The role of technology in shaping our values and beliefs.
- The ethics of accessibility in design.
- The effects of social media on our relationships and communication.
- The ways in which product innovation is challenging traditional ideas and norms.
