about.
I am a Product Designer and a Master's student in Product, Space, and Interaction Design at IADE.
I believe that Inclusive Design, combined with research, can help create digital experiences that are more accessible, meaningful, and people-centered. My goal is to design products that respond to real needs through empathy, curiosity, and thoughtful problem-solving.
services.
I believe design is a tool for inclusion.
Design is more than aesthetics. It's about solving real problems, reducing barriers, and creating a positive impact in people's lives.
MY APPROACH
Research, empathy, and iteration.
I strive to combine research, empathy, and Human-Centered Design to create digital solutions that respond to real needs.
CURRENT FOCUS
Accessibility starts with the design process.
I believe creating more inclusive digital experiences begins with understanding people's real needs and considering accessibility from the earliest design decisions.
ACADEMIC RESEARCH
My Master's research focuses on Inclusive Interaction Design for Deaf users in digital platforms.
I am currently expanding my understanding of accessibility standards, guidelines, and best practices, exploring how they can be applied throughout the design process to create more inclusive and effective digital experiences.
