About Me
Since 2011, I’ve been designing digital experiences with a pragmatic and analytical approach. My passion lies in understanding user behaviour through research, usability testing, and data analysis — translating insights into clear, inclusive, and impactful designs.I’ve worked across diverse industries, from tech and e-commerce to finance and education, leading UX strategies, building design systems, and mentoring junior designers. Currently, I’m expanding my skills in front-end development, low-code technologies and accessibility to craft solutions that are not only user-centred but easy to implement and scale.Let’s design experiences that make sense for people, for business, and for society
Skills
1.
Team player
I love receiving input from the team, this collaboration ensures that I create designs that the entire team believes in and is commited to implement.
2.
Data-driven
I base my design decisions on data, ensuring that I use web analytics, surveys and tests that leads to measurable improvements.
3.
User-focused
I make sure I truly understand the user I'm designing for. I conduct interviews and tests to explore their behaviours, needs, and motivations.
4.
Pragmatic
I’m practical in my approach, balancing creative ideas with real-world constraints like deadlines, budgets, and technical feasibility to deliver efficient solutions.
5.
End-to-end
I thrive when I’m involved in the entire design process, from discovery to implementation, continuously iterating until the product delivers a seamless experience.
