About me

I used to design for aesthetics. Now, I design for impact.

A transformative role at a startup opened my eyes to the crucial role of user experience. After earning my Master’s in UX Design from the University of Brighton, I now lead UX, dedicated to creating intuitive and meaningful digital interactions that bridge the gap between people and technology—one experience at a time.
