10+ years of experience / internationally awarded / 600+ projects.
With over a decade of IT and branding experience, I create strategic, visually engaging digital experiences that drive user engagement and business growth. My branding background shapes my approach as a UX and product designer, ensuring a balance of aesthetics and functionality. I thrive in diverse teams and projects—big or small, global or local—always with a consistent approach: understand, explore, create with boldness and beauty, test, and launch.
"I believe in user-centered design as a tool that helps businesses succeed, making people’s lives better"
(and it's so exciting!)
