About

With over 15 years of experience spanning architectural spaces, digital products, visual communication, and learning design, I bring a truly multidisciplinary perspective to my work. Guided by research, empathy, and collaboration, I transform complexity into clarity—designing accessible experiences that align user needs with business goals.

Learning Experience Designer with a background in Human-Centered Design and EdTech, focused on creating engaging, accessible, and outcome-driven learning solutions. I combine HCD practices to apply for Learner's Experiences at the intersection of ID frameworks.
