Favourite design philosophy
“A charismatic brand includes a dedication to aesthetics. Why? Because it’s the
language of feeling, and in a society that’s information-rich and time-poor, people
value feeling more than information.”
― Marty Neumeier,

Interests
Apart from being a UX designer, I am a big fan of traveling. Experiencing new places, both natural and cultural expands my horizons and appreciation for all things. I have traveled to Europe, Israel, Mexico and Peru and I plan to visit many more desitnations.
As much as I enjoy out of town adventures, I also enjoy local escapades and chilling at home. I follow a number of sci-fi, fantasy and drama franchises across movies, television shows and games. I enjoy cooking and baking, and I keep up with the latest news both locally and around the world, especially in technology, politics and science.
