I am a designer and an educator passionate about crafting user experience building innovative products. I'm creating not just applications but a relationship with a user. The world is changing, and we are changing with it every day. I’m building applications that are not just made for the world of today, but I am also looking into the future where it is possible to predict user behavior, be intuitive, and enter the user’s everyday life as a companion.
User Experience design is finding a balance, deep connections between engineering, psychology, and aesthetics. Finding a common sense, a synthesis between all disciplines to provide the best and versatile solution.
UX Design is The Glass Bead Game of our time: constant learning, making mistakes, recovering and applying knowledge and innovation in the search for the right solution, practicing simplification to wow the users.
As an educator, I am encouraging my students to use human-centered design in their work. It is inspiring to see them move on from my class to become the new leaders in the UX field. I am mentoring other designers to improve their skills and abilities to generate better ideas.
My work as a designer making users to fall in love with the products and services and adopt it into their daily lives.
