Intro

UI Designer for 13 years, UX Designer for 7 years. Fell in love with Web Design & Coding (HTML/CSS). Worked for companies and clients from 4 continents. My most used design tool is Figma. My latest favorite is Spline, a clever 3D design app. I enjoy discovering and embracing the newest tools, technologies & trends. I'm highly adaptable, full of ideas, and I love working as part of a team. I'm striving for empathy, flexibility & open-mindedness in my work. I have a passion for πŸ“·, 🎬, 🎧, πŸ•ΉοΈ, 🚲, 🐱, and 🀫.
