As a researcher, I make an enormous amount of questions in order to translate users’ needs into actionable insights for strategy and business teams.
As a person, I am passionate about culture, humans and how the two of them connect. Curious and positive, I enjoy expressing my creativity through writing and cooking.
Writing
I feel my best when writing. Here's a few of my thoughts, both professional and personal ones, translated into words:
A Designer's role in users’ free will
A reflection on UX, friction and choices in times of despair - and how can designers help users not make harmful decisions.
Listening and Redesigning
How we redesigned the entire Zippi app just by listening to users’ complaints - and drove all business metrics up.

A Year of Pleasure
Ramblings on different definitions of pleasure in order to create a year entirely based on this feeling. Because there is a lot of life beyond work.
