I'm a creative, responsible, and self-motivated UX designer with a passion for continuous learning and exploration. Outside of work, I enjoy drawing, traveling, photography, movies, and cooking—activities that fuel my creativity.
I bring a strong mix of design thinking, strategic insight, and hands‑on skills in user research, wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing. With a track record of leading projects from concept to launch, I thrive in fast‑paced environments and aim to make a meaningful impact on collaborative, mission‑driven teams.
Interested in collaborating or have a project in mind? I'd love to hear from you.
