• ABOUT ME ● SOBRE MIM ●

What is my 'why'?

I believe that every product designer should step into the shoes of their users, and learn from them day in and day out, to truly understand and meet their needs. By doing so, we can empower businesses to create products that genuinely resonate with their audience. I choose to design a world that fosters business success by educating myself and others about user-centered design and its impact on business growth, and by actively working to create products that bridge the gap between user satisfaction and business goals.

Everyday, my enthusiasm is fueled by a strong connection to the product and its people, an in-depth immersion in its development, and a continuous learning journey from user feedback and interactions.

My journey

From a young age, I've been innately drawn to creative pursuits. This passion initially led me to start designing themes for hi5 at the age of 15, where 2 of my themes attracted over 50,000 concurrent users. This early success fueled my interest in technology and design, prompting me to pursue a degree in IT engineering, where I specialized in front-end technologies.

However, it wasn't long before I realized my true calling lay at the intersection of technology and design. This discovery later steered me towards digital product design.

However, it wasn't long before I realized my true calling layed at the intersection of technology and design. This discovery steered me towards digital product design—a field where I've been fortunate to design user experiences over 10 years and counting.

Throughout my journey, I explored various design disciplines, including illustration, motion graphics, and service design. These experiences equipped me with a holistic understanding of what makes a product succeed across multiple user touchpoints.
