About me
I’m a Digital Product Designer with a graphic design background and years of freelance work behind me. What I care about most is designing things that genuinely make sense for the people using them, while still meeting real business needs. In practice, that means being involved across the whole product lifecycle, from early strategy through to the details of implementation, always aiming for something useful, accessible and scalable.
Accessibility matters to me beyond just compliance - I see it as part of doing the job properly, and it’s become one of the things I care about most, especially through my work on digital products for international organisations, where getting it right can make a real difference.
A bit more about me
Lately, Glenn Hansard has been playing quite a lot through my headphones. I’m currently reading Ubik by Philip K. Dick and Demystifying Disability: What to Know, What to Say, and How to Be an Ally by Emily Ladau, and the last film I watched was A Poet, by Simón Mesa Soto. I also have a growing collection of vintage bicycles that I’m rapidly running out of space for - I do actually ride all of them, I promise.
Professional journey
-
I entered the design world through fashion, drawn in by cinema, visual culture and everything that could be said without words.
-
Graphic design soon became both a passion and a way to make a living. I worked independently for several years, learning mostly through real projects, real clients and a mix of visual and digital work that rarely repeated itself.
-
At some point I went back to university to deepen and formalise what I knew about digital design. That’s also when my interest started shifting beyond visuals, toward interaction, user behaviour and how digital experiences actually work.
-
Discovering UX and product design gave me a bigger way of thinking about design. I stopped focusing only on how something looked and became more interested in why it existed, who it was for, and how it fit into a wider product or service.
-
My work gradually moved toward digital products for international organisations and public institutions - bigger systems, more stakeholders, very different user contexts. Accessibility became increasingly important to me too, not just as something to comply with, but as part of designing things that genuinely work for more people.
-
Today, as a Lead Product Designer, I combine hands-on design with product strategy, facilitation and helping teams make better product decisions.
