Professional Path

I’ve transitioned from hands-on front-end development to leading accessibility projects at scale, working with stakeholders across design, content, dev and business. My focus: making usability and accessibility an integral part of every digital process, not an afterthought.

Before my career in tech, I worked as an event production manager and music promoter, where I combined creativity, logistics, culture and sales into successful experiences. That ability to connect different disciplines still defines my work today.

Philosophy and Methodology

Inspired by the concept of “designing with code,” I adopt a holistic approach, blurring the lines between design and development. This allows for rapid, efficient prototyping and iterative design, facilitating direct implementation and real-time adjustments.

My portfolio showcases projects where I’ve effectively integrated this, from enhancing user interfaces to building accessible, data-driven applications.

Team Collaboration

I work best in multidisciplinary teams alongside UX and development, and I am equally comfortable operating independently to get complex work done.

I like to bridge gaps between functionality, aesthetics, and user experience.

Making Impact

My work improves user experience, accessibility, and semantic quality. Whether I am advising on large-scale platforms or designing responsive solutions, I focus on building inclusive, AI-ready systems that support both real users and automated technologies, while also improving conversion.
