About Me

I'm an UX designer with a strong foundation in problem-solving and user research, built on over 7 years of experience as a high-net-worth insurance underwriter. My journey into UX design was fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and my desire to create intuitive digital experiences. I believe that great design starts with empathy!

When I'm not designing, I enjoy, hiking, baking, travelling and playing board games. My current favorites are Castles of Burgandy and Hallertau.
