about

Simplicity and efficiency shape my design philosophy. With over six years of design experience, I love turning complex challenges into intuitive solutions that make life easier for both users and stakeholders.

My design journey began in landscape architecture, where I honed my skills in creating dynamic spaces, streamlining workflows, and optimizing design standards. In 2023, I transitioned to UX/UI design, driven by my passion for creating efficient, user-friendly experiences.

As a UX/UI designer, I focus on clear, creative information organization and thrive on collaboration. My goal is to build engaging, effective experiences that prioritize both users’ needs and stakeholders' objectives.
