I’m Christian.A holistic product designer and researcher bridging the logic of code with the art of human-centered experience.
With a foundation in software engineering, I bring a uniquely grounded perspective to UX/UI design, ensuring a seamless bridge between creative vision and technical execution.
I create products that are not only intuitive and beautiful but also feasible and robust.
My goal is to craft digital experiences that make people's lives simpler, more conscious, and more connected to what truly matters, delivering solutions that are both human-centered and built to last.
1. Bridge Code and Empathy

My background as a software engineer is one of my greatest asset as a designer.
It allows me to design with a deep understanding of technical possibilities and constraints, ensuring my work is not just visionary but also viable.
I foster seamless collaboration between design and development, speaking both languages to build better products, faster.

2. Design from a Place of Presence

True innovation comes from clarity and deep focus.
I approach complex problems with a calm, methodical mindset, allowing me to see the signal in the noise.
My practice is centered on creating experiences that promote well-being, reduce cognitive load, and bring a sense of organic ease to the user's digital life.

3. Embrace the Unpaved Path

Experience has taught me to thrive in ambiguity and make confident decisions with limited resources.
I am highly adaptable, resourceful, and skilled at finding creative solutions when the path isn't clear.
This adventurous spirit translates into a resilient and proactive approach to the iterative design process.

4. Nurture Long-Term Growth

I believe great products, like living systems, require patience and a long-term vision.
I am passionate about creating digital ecosystems that are sustainable and healthy, iterating thoughtfully and listening deeply to ensure they grow and evolve organically with the people who use them.

My Professional Focus

I am driven to design and improve digital products that genuinely make people's lives easier and more intentional.
My focus is on creating holistic experiencesfor products related to wellness, sustainability, and personal growth.
I thrive on bringing a global vision to a project—from initial research to final UI—and am adept at collaborating within a fully remote teamto ensure every detail serves a conscious purpose.

Behind screens

When I'm not designing, I'm often exploring. This can mean finding stillness through meditation, traveling across different cultures or nurturing the quiet patience of my own vegetable garden.
My perspective is also shaped by formative experiences, from a 18-monts solo journey through Asia and South America that taught me to navigate new cultures, to volunteering on meaningful projects and spending a month camping in the Himalayas, which taught me profound lessons in resilience, adaptability and resourcefulness.
These pursuits continually inform my perspective, reminding me to stay curious, grounded, and connectedto the living systems all around us.

Let's Create Together

I am always open to conversations about projects that bring more awareness, health, and organic simplicity into people's lives.
If you're building a product with a mindful mission, I would be delighted to explore how my holistic approach to design and technology could help your team thrive.
