A Bit About Me
Curious by nature and driven by empathy, I am a designer with a deep-rooted passion for solving real-world problems through thoughtful, user-centered design. With a foundation in architecture and extensive experience in research and teaching, I bring a multidisciplinary perspective to every project. My process is grounded in observation, analysis, and iteration—always beginning with a deep understanding of human behavior and user needs. I thrive at the intersection of creativity and strategy, crafting digital experiences that are not only functional but intuitive and emotionally resonant. For me, design is not just about visual appeal or interaction—it is about creating meaningful, scalable solutions that simplify complexity and enrich people’s lives.
