My path into design started with curiosity — about how websites work, why some apps feel effortless and others don't, and what makes a piece of writing or imagery genuinely move someone. That curiosity led me to user experience design, where I get to combine research, problem-solving, and visual craft.
I'm drawn to projects that have a little weight to them — work that helps people, or quietly improves something they didn't even realise was broken. My recent project, Walk of Life AI, was a chance to do exactly that: designing an AI-powered tool to help students build CVs and portfolios they actually feel proud of.
Outside of school and studio work, I bake — a lot. What started as a lockdown hobby slowly grew into something more: a small home-baking business called Yam's Oven. It's taught me as much about design as any class has — patience, iteration, attention to small details, and the importance of making something beautiful and useful at the same time.
