A UX Designer shaped by curiosity, systems thinking, and a personal journey toward well‑being

How someone is feeling shapes how they experience everything around them, including products. That became much more concrete for me through therapy, and it changed how I see the people I design for: as people carrying real weight in what they do.

It also shaped how I think about what design is for. When something complex becomes something a person can just get done, life quietly gets a little lighter. That’s the part that matters.

That belief shapes how I approach work from the start. The stage I find most engaging is Discovery: that first contact with a new problem, learning someone else’s job, their constraints, the dynamics that only become visible when you actually look.

Clarifying a problem well feels, to me, more valuable than jumping to solutions. From there, building is where ideas become real: translating insights into prototypes, testing direction, paying close attention to hierarchy and interaction logic. AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Figma AI) have become part of this too, especially for moving from research to artifact without losing momentum.

With a background in Graphic Design and experience across enterprise logistics, education, fintech, and the public sector, I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams and stay comfortable navigating ambiguity. I value method, steady progress, and continuous learning as part of the craft.

Outside work, I recharge through art, video games, vinyl culture; and complying with the operational demands of my cats.
