What motivates me
Design for me is all about empathy and people, and I love this connection.
When I design, I am constantly thinking about transforming or improving people's experience.
That is why it is so motivating!
An organised and objective process, a deep curiosity and a constant desire to learn.
How I got into design
When I was working in a cafe, I proactively decided to create a different menu design because I was noticing repeatedly questions and confusion around the same issues. So, I printed it out and showed it to my manager and she loved the idea. After a few days of meeting with her and the chef, bringing back a new menu version each time, we finally could print out the final menu version.
It didn’t take long to notice a more efficient service and happier customers. Such an exciting and rewarding experience! All thanks to the power of a good design. Since then, it was a never-ending desire to learn more about design: books, courses, articles, new tools, sites… and I found my real passion for UI/UX Design.
Who I am besides design
I am an 'all about energy' person. I strongly believe that you gotta stay positive so things run smoothly.
I love early mornings, I enjoy cooking, and I also love being active: running, yoga, hiking, cycling, gym, dancing… doesn’t really matter, as long as I keep on moving!
LET'S WORK TOGETHER
