My story.

I began my career in graphic design, working as a freelancer for clients across the globe. This experience allowed me to develop a strong foundation in design while adapting to the diverse needs of international clients.

Driven by a desire to understand how software works, I taught myself to code and spent +3 years as a full-stack developer at a tech company. This role gave me valuable insights into the technical side of product creation, bridging the gap between design and development.

With this blend of skills, I decided to create my own products. I designed, developed and launched two apps in over 80 countries, achieving more than 3 million downloads and a rating of over 4 stars on Google Play.

As a result, I am now a design leader with +10 years of hands-on experience. My co-founder mentality drives me to solve problems with a strong product vision, ensuring that my work is always aligned with business strategy.

I love what I do!
