A little about me

A beautiful design nobody likes: pockets you can’t put your hands in. They’re just not intuitive. Design needs to work for the people it’s for. For me, design is the way I think about buying someone a gift. “Would they actually use this, or am I just handing them something I like?”

But working isn’t enough for me. I want someone to feel something: relief that the terms of service finally make sense, or a little haunted by a grey tree on a book cover.

Some things I like to do on the side

I enjoy games of all sorts. You’ll never see me turn down a quick round of basketball, a six-hour game of Monopoly, a rack of billiards (especially this, I love pool), and many video games. I like to keep my mind active and, even if I’m not good at it, I love trying new things with others.

I also love reading, learning languages, and exploring a city. I’ve been to a decent few countries, including Malaysia, Italy, Spain, Australia, and Scotland.

P.S. You might hear people call me Ash, Ashley, or Anjena. Feel free to try one!
