👩🏼‍💻 About

My Journey

Combining creative practice and analytical problem-solving.I began my career in 2010 as a physical product designer, where I learned how to balance user needs with ergonomics, usability, aesthetics and material constraints.In 2022, I expanded into digital design, applying the same human-centered principles to understanding users, investigating problems and developing practical solutions.Since then, I've worked across UX design, research, AI interaction, QA and creative strategy, bringing this problem-solving approach to different contexts and technologies.I'm currently supporting a small business with design and strategy, while deepening my skills in graphic design and brand development.
