I am a UX Designer and I design products that are functional, beautiful and easy to use.

I believe that good UX design can empower users by boosting their productivity with experiences that make their workflows easier. With this belief, I have spent a decade crafting delightful experiences for a wide variety of users through collaborations with business and development teams.

In my spare time I compose music and build robots out of Legos.
