Get to know a litle bit more about my path and my drive.
My multidisciplinary skills and user-centric mindset that originates from design thinking are the foundation of my holistic approach to design. I am curious by nature and my goal is to spend the most time possible understanding users and defining their real problems. I use my critical thinking in every step of my process and I use the methods and tools meaningfully. I am fascinated with human behavior and emotional intelligence, I spend many hours observing people and that will always be my biggest source of inspiration.
I am committed, enthusiastic, and decisive. In a professional context, I get energy from being inspired, inspiring others, facilitating processes, achieving goals, and delivering results.
In the past years, I have developed a deep passion for shaping future UX Designers and I am currently committed to it exclusively.
I have always had a tremendous hunger for knowledge fuelled by the need for experimentation so I grew my skills in 2023 by taking a postgraduate diploma in Digital Fabrication at FabAcademy.
Ik spreek een klein beetje Nederlands, Portuguese (Mother Tongue), English (Fluent), Spanish (Basics), and enough Italian to keep a simple conversation going. I love to travel and I am on a mission to visit at least one city per country. So far I have been to 13 countries and 1 state (USA).

Since 2022, I have been mentoring students from the UX Academy Foundation and the UX Academy at DesignLab through personalized one-on-one sessions.
