What I'm Reading Now

My UX journey began as a child interested in visual arts and innovations that drive creative evolution, delighting in finely curated exhibitions and absorbed in well-crafted visitor experiences.

After an early professional life working in museums and graphic design, I delved into UX design exploring tangible interfaces and the fascinating world of large enterprises.

Navigating complexity, I architect workflows, translate needs, and develop solutions. It's immensely rewarding to be a UXer today, solving real-world problems with a human-centered approach.

I excel at visualizing and storytelling narratives that showcase a company's values. Through numerous projects, I've realized that technology and skills are just tools; the true value lies in constructing narratives, making strategic contributions, executing well-thought-out plans, and always keeping the bigger picture in mind.

Here serves as a catalog of my design and art passions, covering design, information architecture, color balance, and reflections on contemporary concepts.

When offline, I'm at the gym, swimming or doing yoga. I love floriculture, curated exhibitions, and Agatha Christie's detective novels. I generally like to make my surroundings tidy, and cooking satisfies my need to sometimes make a little mess.
