Hi! I design web and mobile interfaces that cover business needs with user-centred care.

I defend my decisions, present information in a structured way. I know how to organize my time and prioritize workflow. I'm open to feedback and always strive to facilitate teamwork.

I love photography, climbing and cycling. My dream is to hike in Patagonia.
