What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where I can leverage my UX skills to create impactful user experiences and grow professionally.

I am a passionate User Experience Designer with a strong commitment to creating user-centered digital experiences. My journey began with a Bachelor's degree in Animation, followed by a Master's in Design with a focus on User Experience. Throughout my academic and professional career, I have honed my skills in research, design, and usability, which allows me to deliver intuitive and visually appealing solutions.

During my time at IBM, I worked on various projects, including the Principal mobile app and the Instana application monitoring tool. My role involved enhancing customer experiences through effective design thinking methodologies, user research, and continuous feedback loops. I thrive in collaborative environments and am dedicated to ensuring that every design decision is rooted in user needs and behaviors.

With a solid foundation in design principles and a keen eye for detail, I am eager to contribute my skills to innovative projects that prioritize user satisfaction and engagement. I believe that great design can transform the way users interact with technology, and I am excited to be a part of that journey.
