In a world driven by aesthetics, it's easy to overlook the true essence of design. For me, design is not just about making things visually appealing; it's a problem-solving process that holds the potential to create a positive impact. With over 13 years of experience in various domains, I have come to believe in the power of design advocacy and education, and how it can shape our world.
