About me

Introduction

Defect reports sparked my interest in design, that's how my career in UX/UI began. Four years in Quality Assurance at Tetra Pak taught me that the best way to know how to fix something is to understand exactly how it fails, so that's how I approach design. I talk to real users before I sketch anything. I test before I ship. And I document decisions so nothing gets lost between research and handoff. Last project: 9 interviews, 3 personas, 96% task success rate. That's how I work.

I'm drawn to designs that breathe. Bold typography, purposeful whitespace, and visuals that earn their place. Revolut's clarity, Airbnb's warmth, Apple's restraint. That's the standard I hold myself to.
