I design interfaces for people who live real, messy lives — move between countries, change plans, open apps on tired laptops and still expect things to work.

I move a lot.
Countries, cities, temporary homes.

My laptop is my constant, my dogs — my grounding.

A playful dog lying on a couch, with its belly up and legs in the air, appearing relaxed and content.

Living this way teaches one thing very quickly:

clutter costs energy

bad UX costs patience

unclear decisions cost trust

Over the years, I’ve worked on SaaS products, fintech platforms, internal tools and consumer apps — mostly in complex domains where clarity matters more than trends.

My background includes UX research, design systems, accessibility and close collaboration with product and engineering teams.

What I’m not

  1. I’m not a “just make it pretty” designer.

  1. I don’t follow trends or guidelines blindly.

  1. I’m not comfortable with fake urgency or last-minute chaos.

  1. I don’t believe good design is loud.

Living as an expat has built my adaptability, but design is what keeps me grounded. It’s a constant presence in my life. Design lives around me—in my work and in everyday life.

My husband is a designer too, so our conversations often turn into quiet critiques and shared observations. It keeps me curious, grounded, and constantly learning. This environment helps me stay observant and bring a sense of calm to everything I create.
