I didn’t grow up calling myself a designer. It really started back in school when a teacher handed me an art test. I didn’t think much of it then, but that’s basically how painting became my thing.
Then I did the predictable “good student” move and chose engineering. Pretty quickly, I realized it wasn’t for me. I tried front-end development thinking it would feel creative, but writing code wasn’t exactly exciting either.
During COVID, I picked up painting again. I shared my work online, sold my art, and slowly found my way into digital art and freelance graphic design. It reminded me how much I enjoy making things from scratch.
By 2022, I wanted to study design seriously but had to wait. So I worked, freelanced on the side, saved up, and eventually took the step, moved countries and started my Master’s in HCI.
Now I’m deep into UX, doing what I love the most, exploring how systems, accessibility, and creativity fit together. Still the same person who loves figuring things out and making things look and feel better, just with more purpose and slightly better tools.
I do a lot.
I’ve always been someone who thrives with multiple things on my plate, there’s always something new I’m picking up. I love spending my time on traveling to new places, rebranding anything that looks slightly outdated (Inlcuding my portfolio twice a year), cooking, learning new tools just for fun, and DIY-ing my way through random projects at 2 a.m.
