Hello, nice to meet you! I'm a designer at heart with a deep appreciation for aesthetics and functionality. My passion ranges from minimalistic products that perfectly capture user needs to beautifully decorated spaces with vibrant colors and prints, and even to children's books filled with the cutest illustrations. In the end, it was the internet that got me and directed my career path.

I've had the privilege of working for amazing digital companies, creating beautiful digital products and campaigns. Throughout my career, I've learned that a collaborative team with a shared vision significantly impacts the quality of design and the growth of designers. Nowadays, in my role as Design Director, I focus on enhancing an organization's design quality by fostering and nurturing such a culture.

Despite my leadership role, I still love to get my hands dirty with designing on my own. There's nothing quite like the thrill of bringing a vision to life from scratch and immersing myself in the creative process.
