Profile:

I’m a senior product designer and UX design instructor.

I’m confident leading the design process from discovery to delivery, and I have experience planning, designing, and facilitating tailored design-thinking workshops. I have worked extensively with complex design systems and I am an advocate for accessible, ethical, and inclusive design.

I enjoy mentoring and teaching, which I did both as a volunteer with Out Of Office Hours and professionally at General Assembly, where I worked as a UX and visual design instructor.

I worked in London and Lisbon, and I recently moved to Le Mans.
