Designing to Understand

visual-and-structure.png
With over 9 years working in animation, illustration, and UX, I design experiences that feel human and authentic. I thrive bringing structure and clarity but also enjoy pouring personality and emotion to whatever I create.
 
Clients describe me as collaborative, enthusiastic, and curious. I like to think of design as the art of helping people understand the world better.

Ways to Work Together

I help organizations and individuals at different stages, from early discovery to refinement. I combine a collaborative approach with experience in building and evolving design systems. These are my services:

FAQs

What if we’re still figuring out what we need?

No problem. I offer short “Clarity Sessions” to help you frame your challenge and define next steps.

 

Do you work with teams in other countries?

Yes! I collaborate with teams across Europe, North America, Latin America, and Australia — and I’m always open to working with other regions. I’m based in CET time, so replies will come during my workday hours.

 

Can you join existing design teams?

Absolutely. I often collaborate as a designer or consultant for specific project phases.

 

What are your rates?

Rates and structures vary by scope and region. I can share my rate card on request or a detailed estimate once we discuss your goals.

 

Can you share projects for corporate clients?

Yes, on request. Some of my work for B2B and large corporations is under NDA, but I can share a tailored deck directly upon inquiry.
