About
Started as a designer in 2015 and grew through UX/UI into product design. Since 2020 I also build what I design, in React, Next.js and TypeScript. Along the way I've delivered 60+ digital projects, from websites and mobile apps to a custom CRM and a real-estate platform, and spent 7+ years working remotely with Swiss companies. Most recently, I've been working on an AI mental health tool built with a clinical team. I design for function first, where every element has to earn its place before anything decorative gets added.
My MSc in Clinical Psychology helps me run my own user research: interviews, usability testing, measurement. I study how people actually behave, then design to reduce cognitive load, so interfaces ask less of people before they can use them. I enjoy solving real problems and building things that make sense to the user, not just the screen.
