From Healthcare Precision to User-Centered Design

UX Designer

Blending empathy from healthcare with design thinking to create meaningful digital experiences that truly understand users.

About Me

I'm a UX Designer making a career transition from healthcare, where I spent years developing the empathy, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills that now drive my design work. Working directly with patients taught me how to listen deeply and design for real human needs.

That experience shaped how I approach design: I start with research, focus on accessibility, and always keep the end user at the center of every decision. My first case study, GlassBank, reflects this—an inclusive banking app built from competitive analysis and user personas.

I'm currently expanding my skills in frontend development with React and Next.js, combining design thinking with the ability to build and ship real products.
