About

I transitioned from frontend development to product design when I realized that great digital products go beyond aesthetics—they're crafted with psychology and data to meet real user needs. My passion is creating engaging, functional, and accessible user experiences that solve complex business challenges. With a strong foundation in development, I bridge design and implementation, bringing ideas to life through code. Unlike some designers, I embrace learning new frameworks and staying current in software engineering, blending design with technical know-how to create impactful digital solutions.
