It is my believe good designers keep evolving and finding new ways to challenge themselves. That’s what I strive to do.

My academic background is mainly film based, having studied theatre and film in London. I believe my background as a performer has helped me control my body and language to a point where public speaking feels natural to me as well as helping me develop a deep understanding of the importance of empathy: Performers live and die from empathy, if you cannot empathise with your characters, their needs and wants, what makes them tick, you cannot portray them truthfully. I try to apply empathy to all the work I do, both towards the users as well as to my clients and colleagues. Working as part of a theatre company or film production has taught me about the importance of micromanaging teams, sprint working and budget management and my background studying at a german school taught me about discipline and the importance of detail oriented work.

It was after moving from London to Madrid that I discovered my passion for creating user conscious designs that can not only help in the overall experience but, hopefully, make meaningful changes in their lives. I like focusing my projects on the human aspect of UX/UI design; the challenge of catering for the majority of users of a project, without neglecting the needs of a possible minority that needs representation.

I'm looking to work in an environment that will allow me to grow, show my potential and have an impact onto the world.

What can I do for you?

User Centered Design

I create a strategy unique to every project. I believe it is the key to a successful product, not only understanding the needs of the client but also that of the users.

Storytelling & Emotion

I believe design at its best allows users to transform themselves, to live an experience differently and see themselves in the product; to connect with it better.

Wireframing & Systems

Be that through a better UX, a more accessible UI, or both; I'm always driven to find new solutions that can actually make a change and lead to a consciously, well designed product.

Prototyping & Iterating

I conduct user tests through prototypes and heat maps to better understand how to improve the overall experience, design and information architecture.

Visual Identity

Taking into account the brand's ethos, I'm passionate about creating a product that translates the brand’s vision in a creative, functional and unique way .

Micro Animations

Inspiring and encouraging the user to explore and have fun with the product is a key component of my work. I want to bring life to my designs so they feel special.
