Backround

My journey into design began in high school, where a fascination with media design quickly turned into a clear direction for my future. It motivated me to pursue an apprenticeship and further studies in digital design. I began my career in web design and frontend development, which gave me a solid foundation in creating visually appealing and functional websites. However things really started to take shape when I first worked in a startup and studied interaction design. That’s where I discovered my passion for digital product design and started to get a better understanding of a design thinking process.

More recently, I’ve had the chance to work on an inclusive product and collaborate closely with people with disabilities. This experience has deeply influenced how I approach design: it’s about creating products with people, not just for them. I’ve learned to apply user-centered methods and accessible design principles in a meaningful way.

I love being part of the entire process, from exploring user needs to turning ideas into solutions. I enjoy combining research, creativity, and collaboration to bring concepts to life. I’m excited for the challenges and opportunities ahead as I continue to learn, grow and create impactful experiences for users.

Experience

Learning is a long journey that will always continue.

Using creativity, applying it and converting it into the digital world is what drives me to keep going.
