Career path
Twelve years ago, after I got my master's degree in engineering, I discovered that my true passion lay elsewhere. This realization led me to start freelancing and gaining my skills as a designer.

My next adventure took me to an digital agency where I worked as a Graphic and UX/UI designer, creating websites and graphics. Later I moved to another agency as an Art Director, where I led a team of designers. Then I dived into the world of branding and worked with various clients, from global brands to local entrepreneurs.

Then I worked as a Product Designer for three years. I grew to the coveted position of Lead, gaining experience in all aspects of product development along the way.

For the last two years, I worked as Head of Product & UX. I was able to build a design system, build a product team, and increase user retention and user satisfaction metrics. I have led product managers, designers, and content creators. I set goals, planned, analyzed product metrics, and conducted research and experiments.
