About Me
Junior UI/UX designer with a background in computer science and a deep curiosity for how things work, and why they’re built the way they are. I got into design by asking questions that didn’t have easy answers: Who are we building for? What do they really need? That instinct to look deeper still shapes how I work today. I design thoughtful, user-centered experiences grounded in clarity, empathy, and collaboration. So far, I’ve worked on a platform for a European sports startup, Lancôme’s retail interface at Munich Airport, and the ongoing redesign of a real estate website in North Cyprus and also redesign of a TasPort Taekwondo website. What drives me is solving the right problems, and helping people feel like things just make sense.
