What Design Has Taught Me

Empathy transforms data into understanding.
It’s what turns numbers and research into stories — helping me design for real people, not just patterns or personas.
Design is storytelling — and every user has a story.
Every color, layout, and interaction plays a part in that narrative, shaping how someone feels and connects with a product.
The smallest interactions often make the biggest impact.
Tiny details — a smooth animation, a thoughtful microcopy, or a friendly tone — can transform an ordinary moment into something meaningful.
