SUSTAINABILITY
My journey has been long and winding, marked by frequent moves and constant reinvention across various countries and cultures. Long story short, starting as an architect made me a better UX designer, working in urban research made me a better user researcher, and my constant adaptation made me a better manager. The need to survive and thrive through every geographical, professional, spiritual, and intellectual shift has made me stronger and more adaptable, ready to take on whatever comes next.
Adapting to new environments has not only been a necessity but also a source of profound growth. As a result, I excel at investigating complex problems, prioritizing people's and users' needs, and translating research findings into engaging, high-quality, smart, and sustainable solutions. My primary focus is producing tangible results, with an eye for the big picture and a love for details.
