About Me

I’ve worked in-house and remotely on projects for leading brands, startups, and charities for over 11 years.

My Story

In 2008, after receiving my B.S. in Computer Science, I started as a Digital Marketer Intern for an award-winning web agency. There, I had the opportunity to manage digital marketing campaigns and code web applications for big brands and companies.

My innate passion for design made me progressively move from development to web design and later on to UX. This transition felt quite natural since it combined my knowledge of online consumers behavior with my development skills for designing and building digital products that are functional, effective and pleasant.

I like to be involved at different stages of a digital project, from the seed of the idea, through to sketches, design and even the front-end and WordPress build. This means I can jump in at any stage of a project, or take on the whole project, from design to build.
