About
I create data-driven and strategy-oriented solutions by collecting and analyzing user data. My passion for innovation is driven by analytical thinking and creativity. Furthermore, I have collaborated across various industries, including entertainment, heavy industry, finance, and the public sector, ranging from startups to established companies. I have developed academic user-centered research in education, remote collaborative work, driving behavior, and music consumption. I'm proud to also serve as a mentor for CareerFoundry, DesignLab, and ADPList, where I share my expertise with aspiring UX/UI/Product Designers and help them achieve their career goals. My educational background includes Social Communication, Interaction Design, and Computer Science studies, part of my bachelor's, graduate specialization, and master's degrees.
