About

Hi there!

I am a Web Designer, WordPress Developer, UX/UI Designer & Researcher, Brand Designer and all-in-one Digital Designer.

I've had the luck to be in almost every digital and designer role out there for the past 9 years, but what's most unique about me is that I deeply care about accessibility.

I am passionate about creating digital things that are simple and easy for everyone, every user flow, every website, every interaction, every banner and everything digital around us.

I am a 2x winner 1st and 2nd place in huge international hackathons both for best design and functionality.

I've worked on start-ups, agencies, governments, freelance, co-ops with other freelancers, co-founding, in political parties and in national assemblies. I enjoyed my work with direct communication with stakeholders and clients, as I agree that communication in pretty much everything is key.

I've had several roles where I was an aspiring Design Lead and Design 'Architect', making every vision possible in both web and app products.

To me, quality will always be above quantity. I always take on projects that have purpose, meaning, history or help the needs to wider audiences. That's how I helped my Government create a web app that will help 3+ million people during COVID.
