What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role that values collaboration and innovation, where I can further develop my design skills and contribute to impactful projects.

I'm a Product Designer with over six years of experience specializing in B2B products, internal tools, and AI-based interfaces. My passion lies in simplifying complex flows and enhancing user experiences. I thrive on exploring new topics, organizing design systems, and fostering collaboration within teams to achieve outstanding results.

Currently, I work as a UX Designer at the University of Luxembourg, where I designed the main assistant flow for an AI car assistant from scratch. My role involves creating a UI kit to streamline development and adjusting interfaces based on user feedback. Previously, as a Senior Product Designer at Marquiz, I improved team efficiency by reorganizing workflows and introducing design metrics that enhanced team involvement.

Throughout my career, I have consistently focused on user research and design strategy, leading to significant improvements in user satisfaction and engagement. My experience spans various roles, including mentoring junior designers and contributing to online learning platforms, which has enriched my perspective on design and collaboration.
