From self-taught designer to leading an industry-changing learning platform, my journey has been all about continuous upskilling and real-world application. I built my career by taking on high-stakes projects, from freelancing across global teams to scaling UX in a U.S. enterprise company, where I led design for multiple product teams in complex industries.
Over the past 10+ years, I’ve worked across freelance, startup, and enterprise environments, experiencing firsthand the challenges of learning UX on the job. That’s why, in 2020, I co-founded Uxcel — to create a better way for designers to build their skills efficiently. Today, 500K+ professionals and 200+ teams use Uxcel to grow their UX and product management expertise.
I believe the best learning happens in small, impactful steps, not in overwhelming theory. My courses are built to help you grasp key concepts fast, sharpen your skills, and gain the confidence to apply them in real-world work.
