About
Design engineer with Figma and UX skills! I code too.
With a dual education and experience in both IT and Interaction Design, I am a versatile full-stack developer who bridges artistic and practical endeavors. I enjoy delving deep into user and market research, which informs my designs on an abstract level; once ideas are validated, I focus on the detailed design of interfaces. Sometimes designs evolve during development, and that’s where I excel: knowing both worlds, I bridge the gap between designer-developer communication.
I have worked in various environments including freelance design and development of websites and apps, co-founding a green mobility monitoring startup, and developing 3D web-based software. I have also contributed to interactive technological theater projects and food safety monitoring tools, continuously integrating design and development to create user-centered digital solutions.
