About Me

As a Senior UX Designer with a passion for problem-solving and human-centered design, I bring over eight years of experience in the field.

Throughout my career, I've demonstrated proficiency in UI design, but my dedication to mastering UX led me to specialize in this domain. I excel in applying iterative design and testing methodologies, ensuring solutions are not only functional but also intuitive and user-friendly.

My approach is deeply rooted in human-centered design principles, allowing me to empathize with users and address their needs effectively. I'm familiar with agile methodologies, including design thinking, SCRUM, and Kanban, I thrive in collaborative environments where innovation and iteration drive success.
