It wasn’t until I was reminded about that day in the bathroom of a Manhattan Bagel — when, at 5 years old, I turned to my mom and asked, “What do you think about this tile?” — that I realized just how much design has influenced me from such a young age.

I find satisfaction in the details. Whether it’s the ease of purchasing a train ticket from a kiosk in a foreign country, admiring architectural details in Budapest, or the interior of a cozy coffee shop in Copenhagen, these are design elements that bring me a deep sense of satisfaction. 

With a background in business and psychology, along with experience in hospitality and logistics, I bring a well-rounded perspective that helps me approach design with both logic and empathy. 

Having worked in customer-facing roles for over a decade, I’ve naturally developed a user-centered mentality which has translated very nicely to UX design. I like to think my approach to design is shaped by hospitality and the skills that come with it. My ability to thrive in fast-paced environments while ensuring quality, along with the mindset of anticipating, understanding and responding to user needs, helps me to craft mindful and intuitive experiences for users.
