Product & UX Designer building HealthTech products with developer fluency and a patient-centered, security-minded mindset.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for HealthTech and digital health teams where clarity and trust matter, and where I can work end-to-end—research to shipped product—designing patient-centered UX while building resilient, security-aware experiences.

I’m a Product & UI/UX Designer with 4+ years of experience, specialised in HealthTech. At Wiselife, I design digital health applications for patients with bladder cancer, stroke survivors, and healthcare professionals—turning complex clinical flows into experiences that actually make sense.

Products where a confusing screen is never just a UX problem. I work end-to-end, from research and wireframes to high-fidelity prototypes and shipped product, and I lead the design of user-centred digital interfaces for healthcare-related products and platforms.

What makes me different? I don’t just design. I build—and my Full Stack background in React.js, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, and Laravel means I speak developer fluently. I bridge the gap between design intent and shipped product, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and help ensure product consistency, accessibility, and visual coherence across platforms.

That same curiosity about what’s underneath led me naturally into Cybersecurity. I’m currently completing the Cisco Cybersecurity certification path at ISEP Academy, working towards the CCST Cybersecurity certification, because understanding how systems are attacked changes how I design for resilience.
