With a deep passion for design, a love for beautiful typography, and an incredible enthusiasm for the open source community, I strive to create elegant interfaces that delight the user. As a UX Designer at GitLab I think I can strike the perfect balance between designing and actually shipping those designs to a large amount of people.
I have a background in 3D and an endless technical curiosity for new tools and software. When I am not working or online, I enjoy being with my friends and family, swimming, reading fantasy novels, and playing board games or guitar.
