HELLO
Interested in human behaviors and putting people and users at the center of design, I am a user-centered designer, considering psychological and cognitive factors, with a passion for understanding users and translating their insights into actionable design solutions.
I have a proven track record of success in delivering market-ready products across a variety of platforms, including mobile applications, innovative home appliance concepts, and web services.
​
I believe in the power of technology to make our lives easier and more meaningful. That's why I'm passionate about using my design skills to create technology solutions that are not only intuitive and impactful, but also have a direct, positive impact on people's lives.
​
I strongly believe that having empathy should be the first step in the design process because ​PEOPLE HOLD THE ANSWERS.
