My ultimate goal is to create experiences that will have a lasting positive impact on the lives of thousands of users around the world.

Fueled by a deep commitment to user-centered design, I employ a variety of research frameworks to gain a comprehensive understanding of user behaviors and pain points. By synthesizing these insights into intuitive, high-quality interfaces, I rigorously test and iterate until I have a solution that not only meets but exceeds user expectations.

I design digital products and websites that change people’s lives with amazing projects.

I ask a lot of questions to investigate the behaviors and problems at the challenge. I then explore many research frameworks to discover insights that aim to address those goals. Those data get turned into visual interfaces, to be prototyped and tested with real people.

I’ve worked for some big-name companies, in the technology, education, and financial services sectors.

An eternal learner and player!

One of my greatest passions is to play video games, to put you as a protagonist in the narrative and the immersive power of mechanics and environments that create a relationship with the player, bringing knowledge and values to my personal and professional life.

Because I am very curious, I am not limited to just being a player, but to understanding how things are done and always testing new technologies and experiences, always thinking about how I can incorporate them into my work and transform people’s lives.
