About Me

I'm an experienced design leader with a proven track record of success in managing the creative process. I excel at collaborating with stakeholders to understand business needs, brand identity, and most importantly user requirements.

My diverse experience spans multiple industries, including leading UI/UX design for POKERSTARS, the world's largest poker site, with 3.4m players across 140 countries. I transitioned to the business intelligence sector, designing impactful products for Vizlib, including a standalone data analytics SaaS solution called Astrato, that leverages Snowflake's cutting-edge data cloud. More recently, I contributed to the development of RegNav, an AI-powered app at Element Materials Technology, which streamlines regulatory compliance for medical device manufacturers.
