About me

About me

About me

Here's some information and quick facts about me.

I am a researcher-turned-designer who turns the spotlight on user needs and preferences to ship functional and satisfying digital experiences.

As a UX/UI generalist, I can quickly connect the dots on user and business problems across different industries, drawing from a wide range of skills to bring digital products to life.

I discovered that UX design was my calling back in 2020. After wrapping up a two-year research project at the University of Vaasa (Finland), I took a leap of faith and managed to land a design job. The rest is history!
