I started out professionally in tech, working in software development at fintech startups and seeing up close how digital products are born and take shape. That experience sparked my desire to take part not only in building, but in the decisions about what to build and for whom. That's what led me to a degree in Product and Service Design.

There, I dove into user-centered design: research, active listening, iteration, and systems thinking became part of the repertoire I apply to any field of design, whether digital or physical products.

Along the way, a branding class opened my eyes to graphic design and, ever since, I've been dedicating myself to that discipline independently, applying the same people-centered approach to problem solving. Today, besides being a student, I work as a freelance graphic designer.
