To create designs that are meaningful and valuable to users, I strive to keep up with evolving languages and expressions, often incorporating design elements from multiple disciplines. While it can sometimes be challenging to integrate and extend the insights gained through UX research, I find great fulfillment in sharing ideas with my team and building new perspectives together.

My experience includes graphic design, illustration, and animation, and it was the opportunity to work on a web design project that sparked my interest in web development and ultimately led me to pursue a career as a product designer. I am constantly striving to grow in this role and am committed to creating better user experiences.

Previously, I worked as a freelance visual artist, and I continue to draw and draw inspiration from creative expression, which broadens my design perspective and brings fresh ideas to life.

Raumars

I led art workshops for grades 6-8 at Rauman Normaalikoulu School, guiding students in exploring creative mediums to express their individuality. Activities included designing characters, creating unique alphabets and making animal masks inspired by personal connections.

Stiftung Künstlerdorf

An urban art project (stadtbesetzung) sponsored by the Ministry of Family, Youth, Culture and Sport of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, featured a 3.5 x 8 metre mural inspired by the theme of coexistence with nature.

Centro Celva

Made from locally sourced natural materials such as jungle clay, fish bones, horsehair and berries, these masks are inspired by the intricate patterns and organic shapes found in nature. Each piece has been designed to embody a distinct identity, shaped by thoughtful observation and a deep connection to the environment.

360 xochiquetzal

The skateboard park is located next to a multi-purpose space in Ajijic, Mexico, a vibrant hub where locals and tourists gather every weekend and during local events. This 2.5 x 6 metre mural reflects the harmony of coexistence with nature while celebrating the dynamic energy of skaters. It was created as part of a public space project in collaboration with Ajijic City Hall.
