About Me

I’m a UX Designer passionate about creating intuitive and engaging digital experiences. With experience in user research, interaction design, prototyping, and usability testing, I’ve worked on a range of projects, both independently and as part of a team, always keeping the user at the center of my design process.

My background in design has given me a strong understanding of UX best practices, design systems, and collaboration, allowing me to contribute to meaningful projects. I enjoy problem-solving, iterating on ideas, and working with teams to create products that are both functional and enjoyable to use.
