Skills & Expertise

A comprehensive look at my technical capabilities and collaborative approach.

UI/UX Design

I have experience designing multiple user interfaces, from simple café and company websites to complex SaaS platforms. I prioritize simplicity and usability—applications should be simple and understandable. My approach is user-first: I understand the system better than anyone else, even if it means interviewing 20 people and being on the factory floor. My understanding of frontend and coding enables me to provide solutions that align with team size, budget, and timeline.
