About me

I’ve always been drawn to creativity and technology. I started out in computer science before shifting to design, studying Fine Arts and later earning a Master’s in Social Sciences in Paris. That blend of creative thinking and user research shaped the foundation of my design approach.

Over the past 10+ years, I’ve worked across tech, banking, retail, and agency environments—designing products that align user needs with business goals. From scalable systems to improved user flows, I focus on turning complex challenges into clear, usable experiences.

Outside of work, I recharge through sports, stories, and travel—with 20+ countries explored so far, and a growing list still to come.
