Hello!

about me

As a seasoned designer, collaboration is key when it comes to problem solving. I'm a pixel advocate and someone who is passionate about exploring ways to improve how we interact with our dynamic technology. I translate complex interaction challenges into simple and elegant visual interface solution.

I deliver clear and simple designs for mobile devices, desktop applications, eCommerce, web platforms and SaaS products, from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies.

I’ve worked in small development teams and large corporate projects. I share my knowledge and use my experience to solve challenges and to improve results.

I’m also comfortable collaborating with both creatives and engineers within an agile and scrum environment.
