About

As a Product Designer with a passion for creating "little magics," I bring a unique combination of design skills, workshop facilitation, and data-informed design expertise to the table.

I believe that good design is about more than just aesthetics - it's about solving problems, driving progress, and improving people's lives. That's why I'm passionate about using my design skills to help emerging startups design products that could positively impact the world.

With a background in computer science, I have the technical skills to use data analytics tools to inform my design decisions and validate my ideas. I also have extensive experience facilitating workshops to drive collaboration, generate better ideas, and move projects forward. By combining my skills in design, data, and workshop facilitation, I've led design for products such as Lokalise Messages, a translation plugin on Intercom and other platforms, and InfuseAI's machine learning platform.

Whether I'm designing a new product, facilitating a workshop, or conducting user research, I'm always focused on creating little magics and delivering a meaningful and user-friendly experience. I'm excited to connect with other professionals who share my passion for data-informed design, workshop facilitation, and innovative product development.
