MY STORY

In March 2019 I began my degree in Interior Design. It didn’t take long for me to realize that design was much more than aesthetics — it was about improving the way people experience the world around them.

It was during those early days, learning the fundamentals of design, that I discovered something important: I loved solving problems. More than just creating beautiful spaces, I realized I was drawn to the impact design could have on people’s everyday lives. That’s what really clicked for me. I knew I wanted to build a career that combined creativity with impact.

I took my first professional step in 2020 by joining a advertising agency where I started developing skills in graphic design, brand identities and also learned how to communicate visually in ways that connect with people.

In 2021, I made a career transition to UX/UI and Product Design — a move that felt like a natural progression of everything I’d learned so far. Since then, I’ve been focused on designing B2B SaaS products, gaining hands-on experience with complex platforms and user needs. Throughout it all, my goal has stayed the same: to create products that not only look good, but feel intuitive and genuinely helpful to the people using them.
