A few words about me

I’m a UX Strategist with a background in Psychology and an MSc in Cognitive Science. My doctoral research explored how user experience supports decision-making and emotional engagement in young learners — and that perspective still shapes the way I design today.

I love planning complex projects and turning insights into actionable systems. My thinking is structured, analytical, and deeply human — blending behavioral science with design craft to create experiences that feel effortless and emotionally resonant.

Over the past 13 years I’ve led research teams, designed UX strategies, and mentored new professionals, helping organizations build clarity, confidence, and UX maturity. Collaboration and trust matter most to me — because great outcomes come from strong partnerships.

Fit

Let’s make sure we’re a great match.

We’ll work amazingly together if…

  • You see UX as a strategic partner, not decoration.
  • You value clarity, evidence, and iteration over opinion.
  • You want someone who will plan and deliver with care, not just execute.
  • You see partnership as long-term and built on trust.
  • You care about emotion and connection as real drivers of growth.

We might not be the best match if…

  • You see UX as surface, not the structure that makes everything else possible.
  • You want a quick fix instead of thoughtful progress.
  • You treat research as a box to tick, not a tool for better choices.
  • You want execution only, not a partner who asks “why” before “how”.
  • Collaboration fades when things get tough — and ownership fades with it.
