I'm a product designer who is motivated to be part of teams, and my goal is to contribute to society in a positive way by focusing on solving big problems through my design skills. I am currently working at Microsoft Teams which is a team collaboration platform developed by Microsoft. Teams has 145 million daily active users. I designed over 30 end to end design experiences for 2P/3P integrations within Teams platform. By understanding different users needs and business goals, I focus on designing best practices by utilizing Teams capabilities such as Meeting Extension, Adaptive Cards, Bot Chats, Messaging Extension etc. I am mainly in charge of unregulated and Europe area.

Prior to digital product design, I worked on both architectural projects and the management side, in the health and retail industries. Through these opportunities, I learned to communicate and interact effectively with people from diverse backgrounds. I also gained sensitivity for other cultural norms and values and learned to adapt quickly.
​
I find inspiration through my curiosity of the world around me, whether it's through color, textures, architecture, nature or wildlife.
Some of My Architectural Works
A background in landscape architecture and urban design molded me well to fit the role of a Product Designer. It shaped my mind and gave it direction to think with and communicate with design.
Photography in Nature
I feel a real connection with the natural world, and absolutely live being beautiful places or seeing incredible wildlife. Being able to capture that feeling or moment, is an honor that I find it to preserve forever and of course share with others is a privilege.
