The human behind the screen

The human behind the screen

I've spent the last 7 years asking the same question: How do we make this simpler?

Right now, I'm based in Iași, Romania, designing at Digital Science & Research. Before that, I spent years growing at Centric IT Solutions Romania.

My passion for creating intuitive, accessible, and impactful experiences is fueled by a love for user research, design systems, and user testing.

How I bring a product to life

How I bring a product to life

Every product starts with listening. I work with PMs and teams to understand the context, talk to users, and turn what we learn into clear opportunities.

From there, I design systems, flows, and interfaces that feel straightforward, then prototype and test them early so we can learn fast.

I care about accessibility, documentation, and smooth handoffs, because good products keep evolving long after the first launch.

My toolkit

  • Design & prototyping – wireframing, interaction design, design systems (Figma, FigmaMake, Lovable, Claude, Bolt)

  • Project documentation – project tracking, design documentation, feedback sharing (Google Workspace)

What lights me up

What lights me up

I love teams who treat design as a conversation.

Enjoy solving problems together

Don't mind if the first idea isn't the right one

Care as much about why we’re building as what we’re building

Outside the UI

Outside the UI

I’m usually out with a camera, chasing light and shadow. Photography keeps me curious and reminds me that design is also about helping people see things differently. I also draw and paint, experiment with shapes and colors.

What lights me up

I love working with teams who see design as a conversation, not a service. The kind of people who:

Get excited about solving problems together

Don't mind if the first idea isn't the right one

Care as much about why we're building something as what we're building

If you think this mindset would fit your team, let’s talk!
