Design Journey

After moving to Europe, I started my carreer in development as a Junior SEO, where I built a solid technical foundation, diving into coding, analytics, and search optimization—skills that still guide my work in creating user-friendly digital products.

In my final year as a design student, I gained hands-on experience in product design, which ignited my passion for user-centered design and reinforced the philosophy that users always come first.

I was invited to co-found a startup with some brilliant minds, and, as the "techie" of the group, took on the role of CTO. I was fully involved in strategy, development, and collaborating across borders, gaining a serious appreciation for entrepreneurship and agile workflows.

Startup life was seasonal and remote, so I filled my schedule with an engineering student job, where I picked up invaluable insights into production and manufacturing, bridging the gap between design and real-world application.

Meanwhile, through my work as a DJ, I was introduced to a creative group of people in the event industry, which led to freelancing projects in lighting design. I wore many hats—from product designer to lighting technician to project management—gaining experience across all stages of product development and mastering agile practices in a truly multidisciplinary setting.

Later

I became a mom and after maternity leave, I completed a couple of UX internships at two inspiring companies:

One an emerging startup, the other firmly established. Not only did I design interfaces, but I also advocated for UX, helping to build solid and user-focused design practices.

Now

I’m balancing life with two little ones, sharpening my skills with new courses, and helping companies as a freelance designer. The journey continues, and I’m more excited than ever to see where it leads!
