About
I'm a design leader, researcher, and educator with a unique mix of creative and analytical skills.
I’ve been designing since 2013, with a focus on product design, strategy, innovation, and emerging tech like IoT, cloud, and AI. I’m involved in the full product development process—from idea to launch.
Before design, I spent 20 years as a classical flutist, which taught me discipline, organization, and how to connect with people emotionally—skills I bring into my UX work. I also worked as a commercial photographer for 3 years, sharpening my eye for detail.
Having lived in 9 countries, I’m multilingual and culturally adaptable, which helps me understand users from diverse backgrounds and approach design with empathy.
