About

I’ve always been curious about how things work — especially anything with buttons. That curiosity led me to study Multimedia and eventually to build a career in UX Design. With 10+ years of experience, I focus on creating experiences that feel clear, intuitive, and genuinely pleasant to use. I enjoy shaping the big picture while still staying hands-on with the craft. Lately, I’ve been especially interested in: DesignOps to improve how teams work Behavioral Design to make communication and decisions clearer Design Systems connected to code for scalability How AI can support our daily design processes I like balancing strategy with doing — I think good design leadership comes from staying close to the work.
