Good design is the result of deep insights into what people really need, feel and desire. Incorporating my broad background in user experience strategy and design; I’m committed to industry best practices, including accessible and inclusive design.
In my spare time, I practice other artistic disciplines like painting, jewelry making, and photography. I also enjoy the beach, hiking, historical travels, and Ethio-Jazz (a fusion of Ethiopian music with jazz, Afro-funk, soul, and Latin rhythms.)
