What I'm looking for

I’m particularly interested in products that solve complex problems and require strong systems thinking, whether in AI platforms, enterprise tools, or global digital ecosystems.

My academic background, a bachelor's degree in Industrial Design combined with a postgraduate degree in Marketing, has equipped me with a well-rounded skill set, enabling me to deliver impactful solutions in the automotive, food and beverage, and eCommerce industries.

I have worked in markets spanning Europe, South America, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. I bring a global perspective to every project, tailoring designs to meet diverse user needs and cultural contexts.
