INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
My Mechanical Engineering & Industrial Design background significantly shape my approach to design by grounding me in a user-centered, problem-solving mindset.
I'm skilled at creating prototypes and iterating on designs based on real feedback, a process that mirrors my work in physical product design.
My aesthetic sensibility, combined with a deep understanding of usability, human-machine interaction, and ergonomics, helps me create digital (and physical) experiences that are both functional and visually engaging.
Having collaborated closely with engineers in industrial design, I also bring a practical approach to balancing creativity with technical feasibility in every project.

UX|UI DESIGN
I integrate Agile methodologies into my UX process to ensure a collaborative, iterative approach that always prioritizes user-centered design and accessibility.
I begin by creating wireframes that outline the product’s structure and flow, ensuring each element addresses user needs and is accessible to all.
Once the wireframes are solid, I move on to developing high-fidelity, interactive prototypes that enable thorough user testing and provide a realistic view of the final product. This helps identify potential accessibility issues early on.
Communication is central to my workflow. I consistently engage with team members, stakeholders, and users to gather insights, share progress, and refine designs.
By focusing on user-centered design and clearly articulating my decisions, I ensure everyone involved is aligned, informed, and that the product we create is both effective and inclusive.
