Hi! 

I am a UX/UI Engineer and an individual ambassador of the Women in Games initiative, currently working as a Senior UI Engineer at Spliced Inc. in Manchester, UK. I have always been passionate about technology, how it relates to our psychology as humans, and how we can minimise the friction between the digital and real worlds. 

​

I grew up as an artist and branched into mathematics at an early age, thus eventually becoming a UI Engineer. In the last few years, I collaborated with several companies and teams, delivering high-standard systems for games and apps, spreading across all platforms. I am a naturally fast learner attracted to anything new, hence why I tend to spend my free time researching or simply daydreaming about how I could improve my technique.

​

My philosophy is to never stop learning and growing - I aspire to complete my education with a master's degree and a PhD.

 

I started an online teaching initiative, UI Made Simple, about how UI works in games, what the best practices are, and how you can improve your game dev skills.

If you are a UI enthusiast, a game dev, or maybe just a bit confused about UI or the game industry in general, feel free to get in touch. I am always open to new friends and learning experiences :)
