I have over five years of experience in UX Design and Research, creating intuitive, user-centered solutions for complex systems. I lead end-to-end design processes, from user research to quick prototypes and usability testing. I excel at translating user needs into scalable experiences and ensuring usability throughout implementation. My strength lies in collaborating closely with developers, product owners, and stakeholders to deliver solutions that are both user-friendly and technically feasible. I recently relocated to Denmark after my husband started his dream job at LEGO. I’m now building a new life here and embracing the challenge of learning Danish. Outside of work, I enjoy fantasy novels, upcycling everyday items, and volunteering as a content creator for Dansk ICYE.…I have over five years of experience in UX Design and Research, creating intuitive, user-centered solutions for complex systems.
