Welcome! I'm excited to share a bit about my journey into the world of design. After enjoying a fulfilling two-year venture in the wellness field, where I successfully owned and managed a thriving yoga studio, I discovered my true passion for design and decided to return to the world of technology.
During my time in the wellness industry, I immersed myself in every aspect of my business, from branding and social media management to building a captivating website. It was through these experiences that I realized my innate desire to create meaningful, creative, intuitive, experiences that truly resonated with users.

How nature has shaped me as a designer...
There is no design in nature that is not perfect in both beauty and function. This is such a deep rooted fact, and each and every organism and ecosystem on our planet serves a function, and well.. they look good doing it.
This resonates in my work, as I strive to capture the harmonious balance found in nature's design, ensuring that my digital creations not only look visually appealing but also serve their intended purpose with utmost efficiency and effectiveness, like nature does with her own work.
In a reaction to my deep love of the ocean and mindful movement, I strive to create user experiences that seamlessly blend tranquility and energy, balance and fluidity. Drawing from the calmness of yoga and the dynamic movement of surfing, my designs aim to capture the essence of nature's beauty, inviting users to engage with digital spaces that evoke a sense of serenity, adventure, and interconnectedness.
