Summary
An integrated designer with a Master in Design Studies and a UX Design Certificate, blending systems thinking, visual strategy, and human-centered design. Experienced in building and evolving design systems, streamlining workflows, and bridging collaboration between designers, engineers, and product managers to translate ideas into cohesive, pixel-perfect outcomes. Skilled in managing tools and libraries such as Figma and Adobe Creative Suite, standardizing handoffs, and coordinating cross-disciplinary processes from concept through implementation.
Rooted in architecture and branding, my practice extends from digital experiences to spatial and public environments—where operational rigor meets conceptual clarity. Passionate about accessibility, documentation, and continual improvement, I aim to connect design vision with operational excellence to create scalable, meaningful experiences.
