What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a role where I can shape product content and strategy, collaborate cross-functionally, use research-driven decisions, and scale consistent, user-first writing across global products.

I’m a senior content designer and UX writer with extensive experience crafting clear, user-centered copy for web and app experiences. I’ve worked across product and marketing teams to produce onboarding flows, microcopy, error messages, CTAs, long-form guides, and campaign content that improve usability and drive engagement.

I combine UX research, data, and content strategy to solve user problems and support business goals — notably contributing to a project that helped save over €11 million. I maintain tone-of-voice guides, support localization, and collaborate closely with designers, PMs, and engineers to deliver measurable results.
