About

I’m a Product Designer with over 8 years of experience, primarily in data-driven and AI-powered solutions, having contributed to major projects at Autodesk and Datagrid.


With a foundation in Industrial Design, I bring a unique, multidimensional approach to problem-solving. My expertise spans user-centered design, design systems, and prototyping, with a deep focus on accessibility and scalability. I’m skilled in guiding complex projects from concept to execution, applying design-thinking principles to create intuitive, impactful, and meaningful experiences.


As an avid tinkerer, I approach each project with a drive to experiment and learn quickly. Outside of work, my passions for nature, sports, music, and arts fuel my creativity and inspire a holistic design philosophy.
