Introduction

With over 14 years in UX/UI design across gaming, fintech, IoT, healthcare and e-learning, I specialize in creating intuitive digital products used worldwide.

Having worked in all stages of product creation I can easily switch between big-picture view and the nitty gritty details that shape an experience.

By the way, I am a nice person.
