About

I’m a UX designer with 8+ years of design experience and a recently completed M.A. in Interaction Design from the University of North Texas. I focus on creating user-centered digital experiences that balance user needs, business goals, and clear interaction design.

Before moving to the U.S., I built a multidisciplinary design background across e-commerce, fintech, advertising, and consumer products. That experience shaped how I approach UX today: with a strong sense of structure, communication, and visual clarity, while grounding decisions in research, usability, and product strategy.

My current practice spans user research, information architecture, interaction design, prototyping, and interface design. I’m especially interested in turning complex problems into clear, intuitive experiences that feel useful, accessible, and meaningful.
