With more than 4 years hands-on digital design experience, I've been included in a wide range of projects across industries such as financial technology, e-commerce, education, and art and culture. This has allowed me to develop a versatile skill set and gain valuable insights into different sectors.

I've developed a strong foundation in design principles, UX/UI design, and interaction design, focusing on creating seamless and engaging user experiences. I’m skilled in industry-standard tools like Figma, Balsamiq, and Adobe Creative Suite, allowing me to bring ideas to life with both creativity and precision.

Additionally, I’ve collaborated in international teams in Estonia, the United Kingdom, Spain and Switzerland, and worked on a variety of environments, including fast-paced and dynamic startups, traditional agencies, self-driven and flexible freelancing. Each of these settings offered unique challenges and opportunities for growth.

In my free time, I enjoy discovering new design ideas, attending creative events, and sharing insights with the design community.  I’m always excited to collaborate on new projects, so feel free to reach out—whether you have questions or just want to chat about working together!
