My Story in a Nutshell
My professional journey has been quite the adventure, transitioning from the world of banking law to the vibrant realm of UX Design. The shift all started when I made the decision to embark on a second career, fueled by an insatiable curiosity for design and a genuine desire to make a tangible impact on user experiences.
Leaving the comfort of the legal domain, I jumped headfirst into the world of Legal Design, and then into UX Design. But, It wasn't just a change of profession; it became a personal exploration to uncover my genuine passion, full with ups and downs, valuable lessons learned, and the sheer joy I found in this creatively expansive field.
What I value the most about my background, is the distinctive perspective I bring to UX Design—a fusion of analytical thinking from my legal days and a fresh, innovative approach to user-centered design. I consider myself a dedicated professional who has seamlessly woven diverse experiences into the fabric of UX Design, ready to bring a rich tapestry of insights to your next project!

What I do When
I'm not Working...
When I'm not immersed in the world of UX Design, you'll find me embracing the digital nomad lifestyle since 2022, which has added an exciting layer to my personal journey.
Beyond the pixels and wireframes, I'm passionate about expressing my creativity through painting, where every brushstroke becomes a unique dance of colors and emotions. Moreover, I've cultivated a fondness for wine tastings, that allows me to connect with cultures and stories behind each bottle.
And, if you catch me in a laid-back moment, you might find me learning how to play my ukulele.
