9+ years creating great experiences for businesses in different industries across the world

…while helping peers do the same.

I am passionate about how much design allows me to be part of different surroundings, businesses and learn from people’s perspectives. My background is in graphic design, digital products, consumer behaviour, and marketing.
In 2020, it also became part of my mission to mentor new designers, as well as people looking to take the next step in their UX careers.
Besides, I am very interested in sustainability, innovation, finance, photography, and video making.
