About me

Here's some information and quick facts about me.

I discovered product design while working as a university researcher in Finland, and the shift felt immediate and obvious. I moved into design and never looked back.

Since then, I’ve built a solid foundation in UX/UI, pairing strategic thinking with hands-on execution. I use research and data to ground decisions, connect business goals with real user needs, and shape products that work in practice—not just in theory. I’ve also developed strong experience in design systems and digital accessibility.

What motivates me is building products that perform: useful, scalable, and impactful. I collaborate closely with stakeholders, enjoy fast-moving teams, and like being involved early enough to influence roadmaps, not just polish the final layer.

I’m currently designing digital experiences for one of Spain’s leading insurance companies at Garaje de Ideas.
