ABOUT ME

A designer
with a numbers
background.

I'm a UX/UI designer based in Alicante, Spain, with a background in finance and operations. After nearly three years as a Transaction Processing Specialist at DNB Latvia — handling high-volume client requests, process documentation, and continuous improvement initiatives — I made a deliberate move into digital product design.

That transition was shaped by the Riga Tech Girls UX/UI Mentorship program, where I built hands-on experience in user research, wireframing, prototyping, and interface design in Figma.

I approach each project with structured problem-solving, precision, and genuine curiosity about the people using the product. I design with the goal of making things feel effortless — not because they're simple, but because they're considered.

THAT'S ME! :)

Outside of design work, I spend a lot of my time making things with my hands — drawing, knitting, and crocheting. I like reading fiction and non-fiction depending on the mood, and I love traveling whenever I get the chance. My favorite color shifts with how I'm feeling, though lately I've been drawn to violet, green, and blue.
