Personal Essays

These essays are a reflection of my creative journey: where it started, how it's evolved, and the lessons I've picked up along the way. Writing helps me slow down, make sense of the process, and reconnect with the heart behind the work. Whether I’m exploring the rhythm of design systems or the moment storytelling became central to my craft, each piece offers a glimpse into what drives me as a designer, writer, and creative thinker. I hope they spark something in you too.
