What I'm looking for

I seek a user-centered design role where I can lead product and brand initiatives, mentor designers, and deliver measurable UX improvements within collaborative, growth-focused teams.

I am a product and brand designer with a strong foundation in user experience, interface design, and visual identity. I combine user research, usability testing, and iterative design to create engaging digital products and cohesive brand systems.

I have led design teams and creative direction for startups and remote agencies, improving client satisfaction and engagement through user-centered design and clear brand strategy. My hands-on experience spans Figma, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and collaborative tools like Miro and Jira.

I hold a Bachelor of Engineering in Agricultural Engineering and bring practical industrial experience alongside digital design expertise, enabling me to approach product problems with both technical rigor and creative empathy.
