UX / UI Design
I have 8 years of experience leading the end-to-end product design process both in-house and agency side.
I have a solid foundation in Visual Design, but what really gets me going is the sweet chaos of balancing what users and the business needs, and what’s technically possible without breaking everything.
Working with teams and clients from all over the world has taught me one big thing: context and culture shape how we interact with tech—and with each other—more than we realise.
It’s fascinating, and it keeps me on my toes. :-)
