About

Versatile UX/UI Designer and Marketing Specialist with over 3 years of experience in strategic social media management and visual communication. I bridge the gap between creative graphic design and user-centered design, leveraging high empathy to solve complex problems. My background in animal behavior offers a unique, observation-driven perspective that enhances my UX research and ability to understand human interactions. I focus on creating authentic brand stories and intuitive digital experiences.
