Facts about me

With more than ten years of experience in Designing, UX, UI and having learning many different technical skills, I am dedicated to maintaining the balance between functionality, usability and enjoyment of the digital projects I work on.

I am also focused on optimizing the collaboration between business, marketing, design and development teams to achieve common goals in the ever-changing and demanding digital environment.
