About Me

I'm a UX Designer and Frontend Developer with a passion for creating interfaces that are not only beautiful but also functional and accessible. With a background in computer science, I bring a unique blend of technical knowledge and design sensibility to every project.

My approach to design is user-centered, focusing on understanding the people I'm designing for and the problems they're trying to solve. I believe that the best digital experiences are those that feel intuitive and natural, almost invisible to the user.

When I'm not designing or coding, you can find me exploring new design trends, attending tech meetups, or sketching in my notebook at a local café.
