About

I'm a Design Engineer who helps teams turn complex ideas into clear, production-ready interfaces through UI/UX design and front-end engineering.

Currently at Perfect Flight, I lead the UI and UX of the new platform and contribute as a front-end developer, ensuring design and implementation stay closely aligned. I also collaborate with startups and independent teams as a freelancer, supporting products at different stages, from early concepts to full rebuilds.
