Profile
About
I am a seasoned Product Designer, Maker, Leader and Entrepreneur for over 20 years now. I thrive when being part of cross-functional, forward-thinking teams creating impactful products and services that customers and business owners often fall in love with. What fuels my enthusiasm is impact, outcomes and sustainability.
My not-so-secret formula for success is ensuring a proper balance between authenticity, ux consistency, research-driven design and fun environment. In this fast-paced, trivial and overcrowded world the only chance for brands and individuals to remain relevant is to stand out in a positive way.
I’ve been fortunate to have worked for local and world brands such as Chaos, V-Ray, Zebra, Skype, Product Hunt, XM and others. This broad experience has determined who I am today and helped me in the discovery of my true passion - product design. Some of industries where I feel most confident are Education, Fin-tech, Clean Energy, Healthcare, Content Platforms, HR and others.
