WORKS

With a background in architecture, heritage, and visual storytelling, I design structured, intuitive digital experiences. I recently completed a UX/UI design course, where I focused on creating user-centered, accessible, and visually coherent digital products. During my Photo Editors Studies at Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie Berlin, I co-produced the photobook EDITED 2023 in collaboration with ICP New York. My role included project management, editing, and sponsorship acquisition. Photography trained my eye for color, rhythm, and composition — all of which shape how I build user-centered, visually engaging interfaces.
In 2024, I founded an art residency focused on photography and anthropology, exploring narrative and identity through visual research.

I take a structured, user-centered approach — combining research, wireframing, and UI design to create thoughtful web and mobile experiences.
My background in photography and editorial work informs my focus on clarity, storytelling, and design consistency. I help teams translate insights into intuitive, functional, and emotionally resonant interfaces.
