About Me

With a background in Kinesiology and UI/UX training from DesignLab, I’m passionate about designing experiences that improve lives while supporting business goals. My studies taught me to deeply understand human needs, which I bring into every design.

I’ve taken on various roles, from managing teams to teaching students, and these experiences have shaped my ability to listen, collaborate, and solve problems creatively. I believe great design starts with understanding people, and I approach every project with empathy and care.

I’m excited to bring my passion for helping others and positive energy to your team, creating designs that truly connect with users.
