hi there!
I’m a Product Designer based in Zurich, Switzerland, with over 8 years of experience in UX/UI design and complex digital products. I enjoy turning complex challenges into intuitive, visually engaging experiences. My work covers the entire design process, from understanding user needs and exploring ideas to interaction design, high-fidelity prototyping, usability testing, and implementation.
With a background in engineering, marketing, and design, I bring together analytical thinking, creativity, and business understanding. I believe great design should not only look beautiful but also solve real problems, simplify complex workflows, and create meaningful value for users. I’m particularly interested in modern digital products, emerging technologies, and the possibilities AI brings to design. I actively explore new tools and approaches to make the design process more creative, efficient, and effective.
