A bit about me and UX Design

Sketching some ideas during a trip

edTech, Figma, and social impact
‍
When I founded my startup, I took on the challenge of being the UX designer for the team. I binge-watched courses to master Figma and soon realized how much I could impact society by building interfaces.

The success of UX projects in the team was so gratifying that I fell in love with the field.

My Journey in UX Design, Interior Architecture, and Entrepreneurship

Transforming Research into Interfaces

Some lessons in Frontend

I spent 15 months studying frontend stacks – ReactJS, Bootstrap, and Tailwind – and PHP on the backend.

Knowledge of frontend technologies helped me create more relevant and functional designs, while understanding backend allowed me to conceptualize features for software products more realistically.

In fact, this site and the Blender one were coded from scratch.

But I didn't start with interfaces (UI)
‍
My journey in UX Design began in 2019 with interior architecture.

"Only those who understand the world can reproduce it in software."

This experience sharpened my vision to understand user needs and create pleasant environments.

Mixing it all together
‍
That's how I started meeting with different users, identifying problems, talking to professionals from various fields, building presentations, leading teams, and designing interfaces.

A bit of entrepreneurship ‍

I was accepted into an entrepreneurship exchange program, and there, I realized how important words are.

During my time in Italy, I discovered that my true passion is solving problems and creating innovative solutions.

Whether in design, computing, or architecture, I love leading teams and turning challenges into opportunities.
