UX/UI & Service Designer

My journey began in customer service as a cosmetologist, where I developed strong communication skills and a genuine love for listening, understanding, and problem solving. That early experience sparked my lifelong fascination with people and the desire to solve problems that truly matter.

I’m in the final stretch of my studies and excited to take the next step in my journey as a designer. Empathy and curiosity shape the way I work, they help me listen deeply, ask the right questions, and define the problems that truly need solving. I’m passionate about creating meaningful, human-centered solutions and believe that impactful design begins with identifying the right challenges, the ones whose solutions bring the most value to both people and organizations. I’m constantly seeking new ways to learn, grow, and challenge my thinking. I believe purposeful design helps us move forward by strengthening connection, supporting people and organizations in achieving their goals, and bringing depth to everyday experiences. To me, continuous learning and a curious mindset are key, not just to good design, but to a good life.

I believe the best solutions emerge from open dialogue, collaboration, and shared insight. By sharing thoughts, experiences, and emotions, we uncover what might otherwise stay hidden. Co-creation allows us to design more inclusively and they help me grow, stay curious, and find purpose in what I do.

If you're looking for a thoughtful junior designer, I’d love to hear from you.❤️
