My Story
Me; Pre-UX
I began my journey in a place you might not expect for a UX designer: a physics lab.
With a solid 18 years of research experience, I’ve worn many hats, from project manager to principal researcher. I worked on successful project proposals, won grants, published impactful scientific papers, and gave talks at several high-level scientific conferences.


Me; Pre-UX
As I progressed through academia, earning a Ph.D. and postdoctoral position at Empa, ETH Zurich, I achieved one of the highest honors in research, the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action grant.
Me; as UXler
Yet, I felt the need for something more—an opportunity to apply my skills in a broader, more dynamic context outside of research. I wanted to combine my analytical skills and scientific approach with my passion for understanding and helping people, which naturally led me to the field of UX design and research.


Me; as UXler
To strengthen my knowledge I made got some certifications, and they enabled me to bridge data-driven insights with user-centered design. I bring a unique blend of scientific precision, critical thinking, and empathy to UX, creating solutions that are as effective as they are meaningful.
