Hi! I'm a Romanian designer and maker, building beautiful things that help people.

Transparent

Intentional

Beautiful

Stable

My design philosophy is rooted in four core values that guide every project: transparency to foster trust and alignment, beauty to create visually stunning, harmonious interfaces, intentionality to make thoughtful decisions that enhance user experience, and stability to ensure reliability and adaptability. These principles enable me to collaborate effectively, think strategically, and execute high-quality work while striving to improve the world through meaningful innovation.

As a designer and wannabe developer who is enthusiastic about game design, I offer a distinctive combination of artistic and technical abilities to each project. My path started in high school, where I built a solid base in design studies, guiding me through branding, marketing, and web design, before progressing into digital product design. Utilizing my visual skills and understanding of users, I develop human-centered solutions throughout the design process—from strategy and brand exposure to product creation and micro-interactions.

Having more than nine years of professional experience in freelance roles, startups, in-house jobs, and established companies, I’ve cultivated a flexible skill set and adaptability that allow me to excel in varied settings. Motivated by curiosity and a dedication to growth, I concentrate on creating significant impacts through inventive design and cooperative game development initiatives.
