I am an advocate for human beings in a world of business and technologies. I strive to design human-centred products that make a difference.
In my many years as User-Experience designer, I have created intricate Design systems, native mobile apps, responsive web apps and Complex SAAS applications. Whatever the product may be, I always found the sweet spot that combined the user's needs with business goals and latest technologies.
I work harmoniously within Agile and Design teams but I also single handedly deliver UX requirements from user research to high fidelity prototypes.
My past experience as an account manager helps me to be constantly aware of the big picture while paying attention to fine details. I embrace change in technology, design tools and the world as a whole. When life gives me lemons, I make a tasty lemonade :)
I find great peace and joy on white sandy beaches, in Yoga and meditation, cuddling my children, singing, painting and gardening.
The most important thing about me is, whatever I choose to do, I pour my heart and soul into it, and that is the value and care I bring to my work.

Successfully completed a multitude of mobile and web applications for different service industries varying in scope and complexity. The fun of working in Spiria was the ability to see the concrete impact and progress of a solution from beginning to end. I loved designing applications that empowered small businesses to be more successful in their domain. I lead client discovery workshops, gathered requirements, presented solutions and kept clients updated throughout the project lifecycle. Simultaneously, I worked with developers, product managers and designers to deliver design solutions.
