On a quest for exceptional UX

My journey into user experience design began about 18 years ago, when I transitioned from visual design, interaction design and information architecture to a new and emerging field, UX and product design.

Since then, I have collaborated with various clients across industries, B2B and B2C, in New York, San Francisco, LA, and London.

My mission is to create product experiences that captivate and delight. To achieve this, I adopt user-centered design methodologies that rely on a multitude of research frameworks and user testing techniques. I also leverage my understanding of neuroscience, usability best practices, and mental models to ensure intuitive and pleasurable user experiences..
