I collaborate closely with engineering, product, marketing, and our clients to continuously refine the experience, contribute to our design system using tokens, and deliver thoughtful iterations that support the app’s 4.9 App Store rating—all within fast-moving Agile teams. My passion for technology began early, inspired by the craftsmanship and thoughtful design of Apple Inc. products. I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Software Engineering from ISIMM, building a strong technical foundation that enhances my collaboration with engineering teams. With over nine years of experience designing mobile and web applications across industries—including event planning, real estate, ride-sharing, and social platforms—I bring a multidisciplinary approach that blends strategy, creativity, and systems thinking. Proficient in Figma, Adobe XD, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Ionic, I’m driven by curiosity and a desire to craft meaningful experiences that users not only use—but remember.
