I'm a self-starter driven by curiosity, can manage ambiguity and excited about building something entirely new.
To understand the people, environments and culture and dig deep fuels my curiosity. I enjoy connecting dots and stories to create a kinder, smarter and more optimistic future via my creativity.
It is important to me that I continue to reflect, learn and evolve. I seek brave teams where we can together bring innovations and meaningful impact on people’s lives, society and the future, near and far.
My background is in Interior Architecture. I started in architectural studios, working on large-scale projects, and later shifted to work directly with construction consults and contractors on job sites as a freelancer/lead designer.
Why?
The best way to learn is to be on sites and see how things get built.
However, I wanted more ...
I was incredibly privileged and fortunate to meet the team who worked with me on the construction journey.
However, I wanted to break free from the physical constraints of walls, ceilings and floors and leverage the same set of skills to deliver a much larger, more scalable impact.
With or without the disruption of AI, technology is the only way forward. So here I am.
This is the way :)

Me and my students, 2013
A special story
In 2013, I spent a month as a volunteer English teacher in a rural Chinese village—an experience that changed my life.
The school had no electricity, proper beds, or modern washrooms. Some students survived on just one yuan (25 cents CAD) a day and walked an hour each way to school. Despite these hardships, their thirst for knowledge was boundless.
While my team aimed to broaden their horizons, it was they who taught us the true power of kindness and resilience. One student stayed in touch, and with my encouragement over the years, he became the first in his village to graduate from college and now lives in the city, breaking the cycle of generational poverty.
Though I wish we could have done more, I carry this experience with me and seek ways to pay it forward.
Friends
Friends I’ve made that helped me learn, grow and evolve into the version I am today. Hopefully always be the authentic one.
