Exploring the intersection of languages, systems and design

Specializing in fintech, language education and crypto. I enjoy extracting actionable insights from mounds of research, and seeing how small  changes can have big impacts.

✦ On the side, I run a language learning YouTube channel to an audience of 344K+. Previously, I was a senior product designer at the cryptocurrency exchange Luno.
✦ Currently pursuing my Masters in Japanese Aesthetics.
