I write, code, design, research and teach...

I’m also versed in video and motion!

I have a Master's in Interaction Design, UX research training, and a background in content creation and web development.

My breadth of creative and technical know-how helps me build interactive content-driven prototypes, craft compelling stories, and bridge the gap between designer and coder when bringing concepts from ideas to implementation.

Let’s work together!

About me

💪

My strengths // How I design

Content-driven design

Storytelling focus

I create content-driven UX

fancy UI with no clear message ain't my jam

I’ve told stories through scripts, storyboards, copy and image. But now, I construct them through my designs and design process. To me, content and UX are intrinsically linked!

Holistic knowledge

Multidisciplinary skills

A holistic view of design

factors into my decision-making process

From front-end to back-end, research to UI, copy to interaction - my diverse yet connected background means I design with an clear view of how things work together to create a whole.

Culturally conscious

Tailored approach

I bring a multicultural outlook

I know every design problem is unique

Having lived between Europe and the Middle East, I know one-size-fits-all design solutions just don’t cut it. My multicultural background has been an asset that’s informed and enriched my work every day.

My values // What I care about

Social impact

Mental health advocacy

I’d like to make design more human

crafting solutions that can change lives

As someone with first-hand experience with mental illness, I care about using design to create tools that can strengthen communities and support individuals in need.

Teamwork

Teaching

I love empowering others to succeed

because no one achieves anything alone

Through my designs, within my teams, and through teaching - helping others grow and thrive has been one of my most rewarding experiences. It’s also been the one with the most far-reaching impact!

🔥

My passions // What I strive for

System & service design

End-to-end solutions

I value system-wide perspectives

creating designs that transcend the screen

I care about the big picture because design problems don’t exist in a vacuum. Digital products affect people, their behaviours and society as a whole - so considering how things fit into broader systems matters!

Creativity

Problem solving

I'm inspired by wild ideas

that spark unexpected outcomes

Having produced my master’s thesis under a "near future" researcher and ethnographer, I have a soft spot for speculative design. I think imagining future possibilities is a great exercise in solving today's problems.
