Design Manager | Mentor | Design Thinking Facilitator | Product Designer
I am a passionate UX leader who designs from a human-centered core. I believe it encourages us to focus on the people we're creating for, let alone, the people we're creating with. This leads to better products, services, and internal processes.
I'm a natural leader and together with my 17 years of experience I've gained the ability to understand the bigger picture, optimizing for excellent execution, coordinating the needs of the different stakeholders and leading others in my team to bring out the best in them.
My joy in team leading is - getting to know people, allowing a growth space, be there when challenges occur, believe in them, maybe even a bit more than they believe in themselves and then see them rize up...
I have a Bachelor’s degree in design from Shenkar College, UX education from Netcraft Academy and a Design thinking workshop facilitator certificate from Discovers Academy. Throughout the years, I've worked as a graphic designer and lead the design team in a full-service brand & product design agency.
I Co-founded and managed a design studio for branding & UX/UI, leading designers and engineers into creating brand identities and digital products. From projects agencies to product companies...
I worked as a Senior product designer in a B2C product startup company and for the past 2 years I'm head of design at Ovvio - B2B SaaS startup.
I am a people's person, I flourish the most when I'm surrounded by people, leading a group of people and creating a dialog that improves every process and makes it more accurate and closer to the goal. People are also the inspiration and starting point to all my projects. Users’ and my client’s needs shape the course of a project from the very beginning. I also love research, I find inspiration and different points of view as I go deeper and deeper into studying and understanding a certain theme or the behaviours and needs of the user.
My key desire is to create excellent and innovative products. Every process starts with taking action and understanding the right questions. It’s about embracing simple mindset shifts and tackling problems from a new direction.
My Mottos:
Dare and innovate | Listen and learn from feedback | Never be afraid to make mistakes.
