From .NET development to UI/UX Design, my career has been shaped by curiosity, adaptability, and a passion for solving problems through design.
I started as a .Net developer, then explored document design, graphic design, presentation design, HTML & CSS, and UI design before discovering my passion for UX. Each transition gave me a broader perspective on technology, design, and people, allowing me to bridge the gap between design and development.
I joined EY in 2013, where I grew across diverse roles and eventually found my path in UX. In 2024, I joined VRIZE as a Lead UX Designer, expanding my role across UX strategy, product design, stakeholder management, and cross-functional collaboration.
Today, as a Principal UI/UX Designer, I focus on turning complex problems into simple, intuitive, and meaningful experiences. I believe great design comes from understanding people, challenging assumptions, and continuously learning.
Still curious. Still creating. Always evolving.
