About me

I'm a Senior Product Designer who loves turning messy challenges into smooth experiences, always keeping users at the heart of what I do. Research is my compass, especially the kind where I get to talk to real people and uncover those little insights that make a big difference.

I also was a developer and tech lead once and I really love the mix of different accents, backgrounds, perspectives. That's where the magic happens. I also enjoy mentoring fellow designers and helping teams grow into the best version of themselves.

Outside work, I'm a proud dad of two little ones, slowly training them to be my future travel buddies. I'm into photography, smart home tinkering, AI tools, and Spanish tapas, preferably on a sunny terrace with friends.

It's not magic, it's design!
