what I do

My Specialization

Design

I started as a Web Designer, blending visual design with front-end development to build marketing websites and product UIs. As UX Design evolved, I shifted focus to user-centered experiences, emphasizing usability, interaction design, and product strategy.

To enhance my approach, I earned a Mastering Design Thinking certification from MIT Sloan, refining my ability to create innovative, user-centered solutions.

Data Visualization

Designing for a healthcare analytics platform sparked my interest in data visualization, which continued in my next role as a UX Designer for a commercial real estate analytics platform.

To further develop my skills, I earned a Data Visualization certification from The New School, refining my ability to create clear and impactful visual narratives.

Coding

I started my career combining design and front-end development, building marketing websites and product UIs. With over 20 years of experience in HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap, I've specialized in creating responsive, user-friendly interfaces.

My front-end skills have been key to my UX work, enabling me to bridge design and development. This hands-on approach ensures polished, functional experiences and smooth collaboration with engineers.
