"At just 28, I became the youngest to earn a PhD, driven by a passion for empowering others through education and design. As an academic lecturer specializing in interior design, I blend expertise in AI, sustainability, and universal design with empathy as the cornerstone of my teaching and creative process. A certified TOT and AI trainer (accredited by Huawei and Microsoft), I excel at delivering dynamic trainings across diverse topics. With strong communication skills as a writer and voice artist, a keen eye for detail, and a dedication to excellence, I continuously seek new ways to inspire and innovate."

Motto in life: “Once you stop learning, you start dying” – Albert Einstein.
