What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to innovate in product design, collaborate with engineers, and contribute to cloud-native solutions.

I am an experienced Senior Product Designer specializing in the observability space, with a strong background in designing complex user experiences for technical platforms. My journey began at Grafana Labs, where I honed my skills in UX research, design thinking, and data visualization. I am passionate about creating intuitive solutions that empower engineers to gain critical insights from cloud infrastructure and complex systems.

Throughout my career, I have worked with various organizations, including KI challenge.rs and Jungle, where I led product design initiatives that enhanced user engagement and streamlined workflows. My expertise in information architecture and interaction design allows me to translate technical complexity into accessible user experiences, making me a valuable asset in the intersection of design and infrastructure.

Currently, I am expanding my knowledge in cloud technologies to better serve DevOps workflows and cloud-native environments. I am open to connecting with cloud engineers, DevOps professionals, and fellow designers to share knowledge and explore new opportunities in the technical product space.
