About

I'm a Romanian designer trying to create better digital products. Very interested in product, marketing, growth, and brand as design can have an impact in each.

Projects

2023

Designed and developed (Webflow) a website for an interior design studio in my hometown, Timisoara. This would add to their marketing material and position them in a different category from all the other companies in the city.

2022

Helped Felix with his GTM strategy for his book. He published it as an independent writer on Amazon so we defined the best way to go about it. I created (in Webflow) a web experience that introduced people to the book. We really loved the idea but changed it with a more traditional page to see how conversions change.

2022

Notes: only for desktops, limited functionality, fast rebuild in Framer for demonstration purposes.

Worked on the branding, positioning, copy, design, and Webflow development of Advisable's website.

Design System Bootcamp at Memorisely.com

Took part in a micro-class with 10 other students in which we learned the fundamentals of building design systems. From best practices in Figma to documentation and design tokens, the course provided us with a great foundation to continue building design systems on our own.
