"The urge for good design is the same as the urge to go on living."
Harry Bertoia

I position myself as both UX/UI and graphic designer. My interest is the development of user-oriented experiences with appealing visual aesthetic.

User-experience design is an opportunity to listen and respond to users' needs in the fusion of functionality and visual language. Being both interaction and graphic designer is one of my personal advantages that lets me take part in multiple stages of design process, from research in order to identify a design problem toward design solutions.

Furthermore, today it is important to articulate multitasking and multidisciplinary communication skills due to the collaborative nature of the user-experience design. Working in a team and having a dialogue with professionals from other fields is important in order to bring a thoughtful, well structured but flexible design experience to people.
