Catia’s “strengths were her ability to clearly identify the true frustrations and pain points for users and her ability to shape projects firmly around these.”

Sally T. - General Assembly

As an enthusiastic UX Designer, I am fueled by a passion for continuous learning and immersing myself in new topics while collaborating with diverse individuals. Welcoming new challenges is an exciting adventure for me, as problem-solving comes naturally. It's amazing how often I find myself naturally drawn to solving problems as if they somehow gravitate toward me!
Being an attentive and objective person, I thoroughly enjoy analyzing my options and exploring different possibilities. This analytical mindset seamlessly translates into my designs, where I strive to create solutions that are both meaningful and functional.

At present, I am working at Squiz, where I have the opportunity to apply my expertise, while also pursuing a part-time coding course with SheCodes. This dual journey allows me to continuously expand my knowledge and remain at the forefront of industry advancements
