I've spent the past 6 years in South Korea, deeply immersed in the tech entrepreneurship landscape. During this time, I've designed a range of digital products and experiences (including web, iOS, and Android platforms) for leading companies.
My journey began with an engineering background from the University of Warwick, but my passion for problem-solving and creating user-centric solutions led me to transition into design and startup roles. Beyond my professional endeavors, I am an avid enthusiast of computational design, continuously exploring the evolving landscape of design work.

In my entrepreneurial journey, I founded Ftero Designs in South Korea, a company that collaborates with award-winning agencies from LA and London. My work has spanned from designing products and experiences for Silicon Valley startups to revamping websites for clients engaged with Fortune 500 companies. I have also played a mentoring role for Korean startups, from seed to Series-B, aiding their expansion into Western markets.
A key facet of my career, beyond product design, is my deep passion for community building. At the heart of South Korea's startup scene, I played a pivotal role in building the largest international startup community in the country. This initiative, driven by our dedicated team, significantly contributed to making South Korea's startup ecosystem more inclusive and dynamic on a global scale.
Before my time in South Korea, I honed my skills in community engagement as the People Operations Lead at WarwickTECH in the UK, where we cultivated a rich network of student innovators and thought leaders through organizing events and inviting influential speakers from the London tech ecosystem.
I am looking for a full-time opportunity, to work with amazing teams and make the world a better place 🙌
