At Work
I ask a lot of questions to understand the problems my clients want to solve and the goals they want to achieve. I then create high-fidelity wireframes that aim to address those goals. Those wireframes get turned into visual interfaces, sometimes with subtle motion effects, to be prototyped and tested with real people. Some of the recognition are listed below.

In Life
I’m a passionate traveller and love long-trails hiking. In my 5 year career as an amateur climber, I have completed three 5000m + treks in Annapurna Region. I always eat standing up because those calories don’t count.
5+ years around Nepal
turning passion to job
Unlike the Spice Girls, I think that if you want my future, you shouldn’t forget about my past. Those experiences made me the designer and the man I am today.
