About

With over a decade of experience in user experience (UX), I have developed a deep expertise that spans various domains including ERP systems, e-learning platforms, and consumer-facing applications. My primary focus areas are Accessibility and Design Systems, where I have significantly contributed to improving user interactions and ensuring inclusive design practices. Additionally, I have a background in Automotive UX, gained during my tenure at Continental Automotive, which has further enriched my diverse skill set. Outside of my professional credentials, I have a strong curiosity for exploring a wide range of subjects. My passion for continuous learning and discovery fuels both my personal and professional life.
