UX Designer passionate for crafting exceptional digital experiences.
With over 3 years of experience delivering impactful design solutions that align with user needs and business goals.

Based in Kitchener, Ontario.

My purpose is building digital products that add value to all actors in a system: Users, clients, social and business stakeholders, also ecosystems and communities.

My background lies on industrial and product design, and my focus is leading strategies that takes the most from people and technology to solve problems through human centered design.

My process starts by setting business and product goals, understanding user needs through user research and catalyze the information to validate hypothesis, iterate prototypes at all level of fidelity, then handoff the right documentation for developers.
