My Story
I graduated in 2022 with a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design, where I first discovered my love for designing thoughtful, user-focused solutions. After university,
I stepped into the world of product engineering, gaining hands-on experience designing and manufacturing products - and realising how closely design and development
can and should work together.
In 2023, while working full-time, I pursued a second degree in Web App Development. Balancing both worlds deepened my appreciation for the full product lifecycle -
from research and wireframes to code and deployment.
Today, I work as a freelance UX and web designer, blending my background in physical product design, engineering, and development to create digital experiences that
are as functional as they are intuitive. I’m passionate about working closely with clients and users to turn complex challenges into elegant, practical solutions.
