About Me
I am a designer blending UX/UI and spatial experience design to create intuitive, narrative-driven experiences. My practice combines interaction design with principles of scenography, light, and spatial composition, translating the emotional power of physical environments into digital interfaces. Whether designing apps, dashboards, or immersive installations, I focus on crafting experiences that feel clear, human, and transformative. Grounded in research and iterative experimentation, my work challenges how people engage with both digital and physical spaces, making design a tool for insight and meaningful change.
