Studying statistics taught me to read the world through data and uncover patterns in how people think and behave. That process fascinated me, and naturally sparked a desire to solve real-world problems through digital products. I entered the field by designing a platform connecting amateur artists with creative spaces, then participated in side projects as a product manager, coordinating cross-functional teams throughout the product lifecycle. Over time, my desire to be more hands-on in shaping user experiences and my longing for creative expression led me to see product design as my true path.
