About
I had creative intentions from the time I drew my first clouds at the age of 5. From then on, my curiosity grew, starting with drawing, puzzles, and painting, and now with design. Being faced with new creative obstacles gives me the opportunity to explore various design avenues while keeping user experience and accessibility in mind. I have 8 years of creative experience working for an association, a B2B manufacturing company, and a government agency, which taught me a lot about conceptualization, strategy briefings, telling a story and leading an end-to-end creative process in both branding, digital and product design.
