About

UX generalist with a passion for social impact projects, transforming insights into impactful, user-driven digital experiences. I started my career as a graphic designer, where I honed my skills in visual storytelling. My interest in tech then led me to web design and ultimately to UX design, where I found my true passion. I’m fascinated by the intersection of technology and social impact, always exploring how emerging technologies can be harnessed to help people and create better user experiences. I love diving into the psychology behind UX design and work hard to make products that are not only intuitive, but accessible and inclusive for all users.
