What I'm looking for

Looking for a role that combines user research and design to create products that are both functional and enjoyable to use.

I'm a seasoned Experience Designer and User Researcher with a strong background in science and gaming industries. With over 4 years of experience in user research, product design, and quality assurance, I've developed a unique ability to leverage research to provide design solutions that keep companies in touch with their customers. My master's degree in science has given me a research eye that I apply to my work, ensuring that my designs are informed by data and customer needs.

I've had the opportunity to work with a range of companies, from pre-seed startups to institutions, which has taught me to be adaptable and flexible. My expertise spans UX/UI design, social media marketing, data analysis, and more. I'm passionate about using my skills to create products that are both functional and enjoyable to use.

In my previous roles, I've had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, from designing products for tabletop game companies to creating custom software for popular card games. I've also worked on mobile game control wireframes and collaborated on research and pitch presentation slides that resulted in funding from top venture capital firms.
