About

Hi 👋 I am an aspiring Product Designer with a background in teaching, recruiting, and publishing, now focused on creating clear, intuitive digital products. Years of interviewing candidates and working with learners gave me strong transferable skills in UX research: asking the right questions, listening for patterns, and turning what people say (and don’t say) into actionable insights. I care about clean interaction design, streamlined user flows, and using AI to improve both the design process and the experience for real users. * Completed 30+ Uxcel courses while building end-to-end UX/UI and product design skills in Figma. * Use my editorial experience to structure complex information and keep copy clear, concise, and easy to scan. * Draw on my linguistics background to design for real people, supporting understanding and action across diverse user groups. * Especially interested in EdTech, creative tools, and productivity products, with a long-term goal of growing into a Design Engineer role that combines design, systems thinking, and code-adjacent skills. Open to junior Product Designer roles and internships in Europe and remote roles — especially on teams that value clear UX, clean interaction design, and thoughtful use of AI. 📨
