Strategist / Deliverer / Brainstormer / Empathizer / Time Keeper
With 8 years of experience in UX and visual design, I am passionate about creating intuitive, impactful, and empowering user experiences. My expertise spans both enterprise and consumer products, where I solve complex problems with user-centered solutions. Recently, I contributed to LinkedIn as a UX designer, focusing on designing innovative sales and marketing solutions that drive real value for users. My approach blends creativity, strategic thinking, and a deep understanding of user needs to deliver designs that not only work but inspire.
With a curious mind, I’m always exploring new things and experiences. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me enjoying the outdoors, traveling, discovering new food, painting, or handcrafting (check out my Etsy store here). I also teach youth art and occasionally work as a wedding coordinator!
