design.
I create research-based insights and achieve positive results that put people, their needs, and experiential barriers first, because individuals do not differentiate how they feel about products from their experiences with them.

About Me
With a lengthy track record of delivering professional files, I embody a meticulous approach as a technical producer. I derive satisfaction from both meticulous attention to detail and the adept application and presentation of theoretical concepts. Philosophical training uniquely positions me to approach UX design with a nuanced understanding of the human perception and knowledge acquisition, structuring user experience.
My Process
For me, process is always defined by context. Whether it involves a comprehensive analysis of interaction principles for the redesign of an existing interface, or the exploration and definition of an efficient, time-saving tool, I move forward by learning about the user and context of use, defining the problem and grasping the essence of success.
