I design experiences grounded in evidence — combining user research, interaction design, and 10 years of digital operations to create products that are clear, inclusive, and trustworthy.

Designing with

Currently Open to UX, research, and trust & safety roles

I came to UX design through a decade of working at the intersection of people, content, and digital platforms — at companies like Salesforce, Wix, Allianz, and Accenture at Google. That background gave me something formal design education alone rarely does: a deep understanding of how real users behave when things go wrong, and why clear, trustworthy design is not a luxury but a necessity.

My UX work is research-led and process-driven. I believe the most impactful design decisions are often the simplest ones — surfacing a price, labelling a filter, showing a map — and that those decisions are only possible when you have genuinely listened to users first.

Outside of design, I am a classically trained pianist with a passion for Ludovico Einaudi, and I have had photographs published on Google Maps with over 30 million views.
