To learn more about my work or drop a line, feel free to reach out via linkedin.

I have experience in many areas: Mobile Apps, B2C, User Research, and complex Web SaaS systems. But what matters most to me is understanding the purpose and the "why" behind each project.

Now based in Barcelona, I’m excited to take on my next challenge.🤓


Case Studies 👉

I’m passionate about

UX + Product Design

Case studies 👉

I’ve successfully launched over 20 mobile apps as a sole designer and more than 10 as part of a team or as an external consultant. For the past three years, I’ve thrived as a collaborative design team member.

Branding & Illustration

Published projects 👉

I help new brands stand out and assist established ones in connecting with new audiences in emerging markets. With an art background, I create high-quality visuals and hand-drawn elements that add genuine brand value.

Teaching & Mentorship

Design mentor profile 👉

I’ve taught lectures and courses for beginner designers in multiple languages, guiding over 300 students. I created my own curriculum, refined it over four school years, and continue mentoring aspiring designers today.

Also, I frequently write about design on Medium, and used to run a blog for junior designers on Youtube in my native language.

For pleasure, I usually draw a funny characters for my

and walk my dog. 🐕
