About

I've always been drawn to the way design can shape how people interact with technology—how it can simplify, connect, and even inspire. For me, UX/UI design is about more than just aesthetics; it’s about creating experiences that feel natural, intuitive, and meaningful.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked across different industries, from fintech to cultural and sustainability-focused projects, always striving to design with purpose. Whether it’s crafting seamless digital products, conducting user research, or refining design strategies, I love the challenge of turning complex problems into simple, human-centered solutions. I’m always looking for new ways to grow, learn, and push my work further.

Curiosity

I approach every design challenge with a “What if?” mindset. My curiosity pushes me to dig deep into problems, explore creative angles, and uncover meaningful solutions. It’s not just about solving issues—it’s about creating experiences that matter.

Impact

Ideas are only as good as the value they deliver. I challenge assumptions, validate solutions with real users, and rely on data-driven insights to ensure my designs meet both user needs and business goals.

Precision

Great design comes to life in the details. From pixel-perfect visuals to smooth, intuitive flows, I pay close attention to every element to ensure the final result is seamless, impactful, and a joy to use.
