WHAT DRIVES ME
After years in product design, I've come back to what matters: helping people with great ideas build great products. Not just designs that sit in Figma, but real things that ship.
The UX process—discovery, validation, synthesis, implementation, iteration—gives us the foundation. But the goal was never the process itself. It's what gets built at the end.
I stay close to emerging technology, particularly AI-assisted development, because the tools are finally catching up with what designers have always wanted to do: bring ideas to life without waiting for permission.
EXPERIANCE THAT COUNTS
70% increase in customer retention at Valsea IT. Proven conversion improvements across multiple products. Work spanning startups and enterprise, across industries that move fast and demand results.
I've spent enough time inside companies to understand how teams actually function—the politics, the bottlenecks, the moments where good work gets stuck. That perspective shapes everything I do now.
MENTORING
Close to 100 students mentored through DesignLab and ADPList. From foundations courses to full UX Academy, helping people go from curious to job-ready.
What I get from it: a constant reminder of what motivates people, the variety of projects out there, and the questions that matter most when you're starting out.

I play open mics and run tabletop RPG games for groups of friends. Creativity and imagination don't stop when the laptop closes.
