I'm a designer who speaks developer. With a background in both Human-Computer Interaction and full-stack development, I specialize in turning complex problems into clean, accessible interfaces that people actually enjoy using.

My sweet spot? Bridging that gap between beautiful design and solid engineering. I love taking a design from Figma and making it come to life with React and TypeScript, ensuring it's not just pretty but actually works beautifully at scale.

I'm currently looking for Product Designer, UI/UX Designer and Software Developer (UI/UX) roles, based in Florida and ready to relocate anywhere in the US.
