“If I had one hour to solve a problem, I would spend fifty-five minutes defining the problem, and five minutes on the solution.”

— (Probably) Albert Einstein

With a background in Graphic Design and Fine Art, including a Masters's degree in Brand Identity Design and Visual Communication, my journey as a Product Designer began. My love for music, books, and print media initially sparked my interest, but it was the revolutionary impact of Apple products that truly captivated me. The advent of the iPod, iPhone, and the vast world of apps ignited my passion for UI/UX design—an ever-evolving field that blends art and science, offering constant excitement and intrigue.

As a designer, I recognize the ethical responsibility to address the world's overwhelming waste and strive to validate problem hypotheses before creating products that may contribute to the issue. This is where methodologies like Design Thinking and user-centric approaches play a crucial role, providing opportunities to solve complex problems effectively.

Design is no longer confined to designers alone; it requires collaborative efforts to thrive. Embracing a team-oriented mindset, I value collaborative thinking and decision-making while maintaining individual accountability. For me, Product Design is a team sport, and I aim to facilitate creative collaborations that lead to impactful outcomes.

Now, I am seeking to join a Product Design team comprising talented and creative designers. My goal is to continue my personal and professional growth as a designer while making a positive difference for both people and the planet.
