How I can help you

My expertise

UX design

I design intuitive digital experiences that are clear, simple, and useful — turning complex problems into solutions people enjoy using.

Functional analysis

I translate business needs into clear wireframes and analysis documents to validate that every feature has purpose, clarity, and measurable value.

UI design & front-end development

I build responsive interfaces with clean code and thoughtful visuals — bridging design and development to deliver polished, usable products.
Methods & frameworks

My Toolkit

Research & Design

User interviews
Usability testing
Wireframing
Prototyping
When it comes to research design, I approach each project strategically to uncover genuine user insights. I craft comprehensive user interview protocols that reveal underlying motivations and pain points, then structure usability testing sessions to capture both quantitative metrics and qualitative observations.

I translate these research findings into wireframes that reflect real user needs and validate concepts through iterative prototyping. This systematic approach ensures that every design element is grounded in evidence rather than assumptions, creating solutions that truly resonate with users.

Functional Analysis

Analysis
Documentation
Technical background
Communication
In functional analysis, I break down complex business requirements into clear, actionable components. My analytical approach involves systematically examining workflows to identify gaps and improvement opportunities. I create comprehensive documentation that bridges stakeholders and development teams, ensuring alignment throughout the project.

My technical background allows me to understand implementation constraints, while my communication skills facilitate productive discussions between business and technical teams. This approach proved effective during my consultancy assignment at Bayer, where I delivered functional specifications that were both technically feasible and business-aligned.
