With over 6 years of design experience, I began my career as a Graphic Designer, refining my eye for visuals and attention to detail. Transitioning into Product Design, I adopt a holistic approach—from initial research and discovery to delivering impactful, user-centered interfaces that drive business objectives across diverse industries such as ecommerce and edtech in the B2C market, and SaaS in the B2B market. This expertise translates into solutions like management platforms, virtual offices, LRM (Learning Relationship Management), and Contact Centers. I specialize in UI and UX design, leveraging data insights through thorough user research and usability testing to create compelling user experiences. Thriving in collaborative environments, I champion cross-functional teamwork and agile methodologies to achieve seamless digital solutions.

Beyond my professional work, I bring valuable experience in UX consulting, providing tailored design solutions independently. My role as an instructor in a UI/UX design course enriches my perspective, continually enhancing my skill set and adaptability in dynamic settings.
