Work History
TLDR
I started my career in UI design in 2006, added UX design in 2014 and have been working as a UX & UI director in the games industry since 2020. I work as a team leader, manage teams and mentor juniors.
Leadership
In my current role I lead a team of 6 UX & UI designers, providing guidance, mentorship, and fostering a collaborative work environment. I also successfully introduced UX practices to the company based on Lean UX and design thinking, integrating them into the development cycle. My role as a director of the company is to ensure the development of my team as well as guide the long term strategy of the department as a whole.
I have completed Brené Brown’s Dare to Lead training which has given me a strongly empathetic focus to my role as a leader. I have a growth mindset and am always interested in learning how I can do my job by serving my team better.
