Hey!

My design journey began in my teens, dabbling in game design, which led me to pursue Graphic, Web, and UX Design.

A career highlight was joining CodeSignal as its founding designer, working alongside Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and learning how digital businesses scale.

Since then, I’ve helped startups like Krisp and led design teams at Perkbox.

After switching to a Global Talent visa, I’ve been freelancing, focusing on user-centered solutions and design strategy.
