About

I’m a UX/UI Designer with over 8 years of experience across industrial, interior, and brand design, turning ideas into real, thoughtful experiences. Through hands-on UX projects and continuous learning, I’ve developed strong skills in user research, wireframing, prototyping, and UI design. I’m passionate about creating inclusive, sustainable, and human-centered digital experiences that truly matter. For me, design is not just about how things look; it’s about how they work, how they feel, and how they improve people’s lives. Additionally, I have experience in operations coordination and workshop facilitation, which enriches my holistic approach to design work.
