About

15 yrs of experience in digital design and teamwork. Expert knowledge in design fundamentals, persuasion psychology, strategic design and front-end development. 🎯 My mission is to convert business ideas into top-quality interfaces and design deliverables to benefit end users and foster product growth. I excel in e-commerce projects, delivering optimal UX, scalable architecture, and analytics for online shopping. 🍏 Starting as an independent wordpress designer-developer, I've built a strong front-end foundation by coding my own designs and webshops. Later in my career working in teams across startups and enterprises, I've gained an understanding of backend constraints and practiced writing functional / non-functional requirements. Adaptable to evolving priorities — do have a project manager and a scrum master experience. Passionate about innovative DataViz methods and Tech4Good movement.
