What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote, long-term role (ideally full-time) where I can grow both professionally and personally, contribute to real products, and collaborate with motivated teams of any size. I value learning, ownership, and thoughtful product development.

UX/UI Designer using narrative and visual storytelling to create meaningful digital experiences and guide users toward intentional actions.

I design interfaces that combine usability, information architecture, and emotional engagement, using storytelling as a tool to build trust, retain attention, and support conversion-oriented journeys.

My approach focuses on shaping experiences where visuals and interaction are not decorative, but strategic — helping users understand, feel, and act.

I work on real digital products from concept to iteration, collaborating with stakeholders and adapting design decisions to real constraints, user needs, and business goals.

Alongside product design, I’m currently exploring 3D design and animation, driven by a long-standing passion for videogames and interactive worlds, with the goal of creating small game and creative side projects in the future.

I’ve always had a strong artistic background (sculpting, painting, visual experimentation), which informs my sensitivity to form, composition, and atmosphere in digital experiences.

Open to remote and international opportunities.
