About

I’m a Junior UX/UI Designer with a background in 2D animation, which makes me keen on visual storytelling and creativity. Curious by nature and passionate about learning, I love exploring many interests (sometimes too many). As an extrovert, my communication and interpersonal skills make me a good team player who thrives in dynamic and creative environments.

I enjoy blending my skills in animation and design to create visually compelling and user-friendly products. With experience working in different countries and on diverse projects, I’m always eager to learn new techniques and improve my craft in both creative and technical fields.
