Design Philosophy

With a strong foundation in marketing and design, I create user-centered solutions that seamlessly blend functionality with delight, while meeting ambitious business objectives. My journey in UX began with redesigning packaging for a milk and cheese brand, aligning user preferences with business goals—an experience that ignited my enduring passion for innovative design solutions.

Beyond UX:

When not immersed in wireframes and prototypes, I find inspiration and rejuvenation through kickboxing and photography. These pursuits offer fresh perspectives that inform my design work. Additionally, I enjoy creating unique glass and ceramic pieces, combining creativity with hands-on craftsmanship.

My passion for exploration extends to diverse landscapes, enriching my understanding of global user perspectives. From trekking volcanoes in Guadeloupe to snorkeling with stingrays in Grand Cayman, each adventure fuels my inclusive design philosophy.
