About

With 10+ years in the tech industry as a designer, and a front-end development background, I thrive in cross-disciplinary, cross-cultural teams, especially when collaborating with engineers.

My passion for design goes beyond aesthetics—I enjoy diving into complex challenges, understanding user mental models, and creating solutions and systems that address real user needs.


Skills

Full-Stack Product Design

From discovery to delivery, I handle all design stages, including: problem definition, prioritization, user research, UX/UI design, etc..

Technical Background

I have front-end development skills and experience working in technical environments, enabling me to quickly adapt to new stacks and collaborate effectively with developers.

Mentorship & Collaboration

I mentor designers on many aspects of their work and create design rituals to foster team collaboration.

Leadership & Communication

I lead workshops, projects, and design initiatives, always prioritizing clear and transparent communication.

Autonomy & Rigor

I approach every project with autonomy, rigor, and flexibility, with a strong emphasis on clear documentation.
