About me

I’m a thoughtfully-fast product designer dedicated to creating empowering and delightful experiences for people.

I have over 15 years of expertise across various disciplines such as user research, visual design, interaction design, design systems, product strategy, graphic design, illustration, and motion design. I bring a well-rounded perspective to every project I undertake.

I prioritize values such as kindness, radical candor, and openness in my interactions with colleagues. I believe that these values are crucial for fostering a positive and productive work environment and are the foundation for crafting meaningful and captivating digital experiences.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and exploring the great outdoors through hiking and mountain biking. These activities help me recharge and provide inspiration for my work. Reading is also a favorite pastime of mine, especially in the field of human psychology, as it allows me to learn new things and expand my horizons.
