Beyond design, I like systems. Once I find a structure that works, I reuse it everywhere, design, planning, how I spend a Tuesday.

Multi-Disciplinary Product & Interaction Designer

I am a Designer with a background in Computer Engineering, specializing in product design, user interfaces, and interaction design. I create intuitive, user-centered solutions that solve real problems. My approach relies on deep user research, strong visual hierarchy, and building scalable design systems that look great and function flawlessly.

Over the past few years, I have designed mobile and web products for global teams, including Platos and Cravve.ai. My work balances clean layouts and practical usability, incorporating functional motion design to make digital experiences feel more engaging and natural for users.
