About me

💻
Since January 2025, I’ve been serving as Principal UX Strategist at Siemens within the Smart Building portfolio. Previously, I was Head of User Experience, where I established the global UX organization and embedded user-centric approaches across the business. I built and led a multidisciplinary design team of 30 professionals, supporting a diverse portfolio of 30+ products. Prior to joining Siemens in May 2022, I was a Design Lead at IBM Design, where I led an interdisciplinary design team focused on software and cloud platform solutions. My responsibilities spanned product vision, UX strategy, design operations, and creative direction.

🏫
In 2020, I founded and co-hosted the Design at Scale Meetups alongside Morgana D'Almeida. We created a space for enterprise designers to connect, share insights, and explore the challenges of delivering delightful experiences and scalable products.

🦸
In 2020, I joined the UX Rescue organization as a mentor for the next generation of UX designers, supporting them through real-world NGO projects. This initiative deeply resonated with me, as it reflects what design culture is fundamentally about: empathy, support, and making a positive impact.
