👩🏼💻 About
Background
I began my career in 2010 in physical product design, where I learned how to balance user needs with aesthetics, ergonomics, usability and material constraints.In 2022, I expanded into digital design, applying the same human-centered approach to understanding users, investigating problems and designing practical solutions.Since then, I’ve worked across UX design, research, AI interaction and broader digital design, bringing this approach to different contexts, problems and technologies.➡️ My design practice evolved, but the way I work has remained human-centered.
