Experience Designer / Yoga Teacher
I'm a product designer with a passion for user centered design. I am also an advocate of creative thinking approaches and design thinking.
I specialize in experience design for software. I've worked on lots of websites, web applications, mobile and social media products, applying principles and techniques from psychology and social sciences, human factors, human-computer interaction, visual design, accessibility and usability. My Ph.D focused on natural language generation and human communication with machines, a combination of AI and HCI.
I have a strong drive for innovation and have designed, envisioned and created new products for different market places and industries from scratch, as well as the strategy for bringing them to market and gaining user adoption. I bring the power and energy of design thinking to both startups and big companies. I like to focus my efforts on large-scale industry disruption.
I love to draw, take photos and skateboard. I'm a student and teacher of Yoga. I'm always exploring new things.
No death = No Life
No change = No transformation
"We must be willing to get rid of the life we have planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us" (J. Campbell)
Be willing to keep dying.
Follow your bliss.
The universe will open doors where there were only walls.
Love is what we're born with. Fear is what we learn.
Have courage.
Love your dragon.
