About
From art, through fashion,
into experience.
I started as an illustrator — drawing the world by hand, learning to see in composition and detail. That eye led me into fashion, where I spent eight years shaping garments and brand stories, learning what makes something feel considered rather than just finished.
Today I bring that same instinct to UX: using technology to make experiences simple, human and easy to trust — research-led, strategy-first, and crafted with care all the way to the final pixel.
