About

Designer, partner, storyteller.

Vaia

My journey into design wasn't linear, but it makes perfect sense in retrospect. I started in Nursing, where I mastered the ultimate UX skill: empathy and deeply understanding human needs.

Looking for a creative outlet, I pivoted into the world of 3D aligner design and digital orthodontics. Crafting thousands of precise dental splints made me realize two things: I have a borderline-obsessive eye for structural alignment, and I wanted to design digital experiences that go beyond the physical world.

Today, at Vaia Lab, I merge human-centric empathy with structural discipline to build clean, intuitive, and high-functioning digital products.
