My background

Fueled by my passion for art and creativity, I began my career in Graphic Design at Oxford Brookes University. I then pursued an MA in Digital Design (UX/UI) at Birkbeck, University of London, where I discovered the power of design beyond aesthetics to improve experiences and solve problems.

Since then, I've designed solutions across various industries, working in agile environments that sharpened my ability to apply user-centered principles to complex business challenges while growing as a designer.

My approach

My design approach is purpose-driven, rooted in real user needs, aligned with business goals, and shaped through close collaboration.
