My
Story

I sincerely love what I do.

With over 20 years in the creative field, I've become a flexible design-thinker focused on user-centric problem-solving. My background in visual design and product design has made me a well-rounded UX practitioner.

Maintaining a balance between work and life is essential to me. Outside the office, you'll find me experimenting with new flavors in my cooking, exploring the latest place to open in my neighborhood, or planning my next adventure with friends.

My Take on UX

Since the Renaissance, design has been caught in a fundamental debate: Disegno vs. Colore - the battle between structural line and free-flowing color. But this 16th-century argument was never just about technique. It questioned how we should approach design itself: Should it be logical and process-driven, or spontaneous and emotional?

My approach to UX embraces both. A UX designer must work through emotion to understand and empathize with users, while using logic to focus on stakeholder goals, project constraints, and timelines. Balancing emotion with execution - with each iteration, designs grow stronger, stay relevant, and become more essential to users' lives.
