"DAH-weet eh-lee-us” 🇪🇹

With over 9 years in product design, I’m passionate about craft—from the smallest details like motion and well-thought-out design systems that empower teams to pioneering new design paradigms where best practices don’t yet exist. I believe that the right balance of detail, exploration, and user insight transforms how people engage with technology.
