Strategic | Curious | Aesthete
I’m a UX Designer passionate about creating user-focused experiences that drive business success. I thrive on solving complex problems through research and collaboration, delivering solutions that align with both user needs and company goals.
Outside of work, I enjoy visual design, crafting, and exploring new cafes and culinary experiences. And if we chat, don’t be surprised if I drop a pop culture reference or two—I love sharing anecdotes from my favorite books, movies, and shows.
