What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities to combine Product Design, UX/UI, and Digital Design to create meaningful user experiences. My background includes product design, branding, websites, social media, marketing, and no-code development (Framer), allowing me to contribute to both product and creative teams while building digital experiences that drive business results.

I'm a Product & Digital Designer with experience creating user-centered digital products, websites, brands, and marketing assets for startups and established companies. My background combines Product Design, UX/UI, Graphic Design, Branding, and No-Code Development (Framer), allowing me to contribute across both product and creative teams.

I enjoy working throughout the entire design process, from discovery and user research to wireframing, prototyping, Design Systems, visual design, and developer handoff. I also leverage AI tools to improve workflows, accelerate execution, and make better design decisions.

Whether designing a SaaS platform, a mobile app, a landing page, or a brand identity, my goal is always the same: create intuitive, high-quality experiences that solve real problems and support business growth.
