About

I’m a UX/UI and product designer with a strong focus on user-centred design, rapid prototyping, and turning complex requirements into modern, maintainable web applications. I enjoy structuring collaboration in agile teams and improving processes with tools like Jira, Confluence, and Miro.

Over the years I’ve led product development work, coordinated cross-functional stakeholders, and combined design craft (branding, UI systems, motion/screen design) with practical engineering foundations (HTML/CSS/JS, Tailwind, Figma workflows). I’m also interested in prompt/LLM-driven design and agentic automation to speed up ideation and delivery.
