About me
Curiosity meets craft.
I'm a Product Designer with a Master's in Human-Computer Interaction and a background in UX research and visual design. I enjoy turning complex challenges into intuitive, meaningful digital experiences.
My journey began with a Bachelor's in Multimedia and Animation, where I developed a foundation in visual storytelling, graphic design, and motion. Today, I combine that creative perspective with research-driven problem solving to design experiences that balance usability and creativity.
