My design philosophy
My belief is that design goes beyond aesthetics. We solve problems so other people don't have to; we build something that lasts and works well, and we use data to help people make better decisions. I’m a self-confident designer, enthusiast of UX and new technologies, driven by innovative and design thinking and a passion for smart human interactions.
Design bridges user needs and business goals
Design connects users with business objectives, balancing aesthetics with function. I create solutions that meet real needs while driving measurable business results.

Accessibility is non-negotiable
I believe that design should be inclusive and accessible to all users. By following best practices in accessibility, I ensure that products are usable by everyone, regardless of ability, making technology more inclusive and empowering.
