About

I design with the eye of a photographer and the hands of a product designer.

UI/UX Designer with hands-on experience delivering end-to-end design solutions for reputed B2B clients. Proficient in Figma for wireframing, prototyping, and building scalable design systems. My background in visual storytelling, brand identity and user-centered design was shaped by a professional foundation in photography, art direction and graphic design — that's where the obsession with composition and light comes from. I translate business goals into intuitive digital experiences that drive measurable conversion and engagement.

On the photography years

Two years behind a camera — running shoots, lighting people, framing scenes for clients — taught me everything I use now in product design. Composition is just visual hierarchy. Lighting is just emphasis. Direction is just stakeholder management. The photography years aren't a detour from design — they're the foundation.
