About Me

A peek into my journey, and what fuels my passion today.

An Architect Who Fell in Love With the Web

Working at the intersection of design, technology, and accessibility.

My journey started in architecture, a field where I learned the importance of aesthetics, structure, and functionality. However, I found myself increasingly drawn to the limitless possibilities of the digital world. What began as a curiosity soon turned into a passion for creating high-performing web experiences.

In 2017, I made the leap into web design and development. My background in architecture gave me a unique perspective on problem-solving, design systems, and user-centric thinking. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients from Fortune 500 companies to SMEs, helping them achieve their goals through thoughtful design and robust digital solutions.

Today, I work as an independent UX Engineer and accessibility consultant, and I run Smelter Studio: a product-focused studio that empowers business with scalable and effective web solutions and digital products.
