About
I am a product and UX designer with fourteen years across SaaS, fintech, healthcare and e-commerce. Most of that time has been spent on systems complicated enough that people had built workarounds to avoid them.
I studied philosophy before I studied graphic design, at two universities in Cluj-Napoca. That sounds like a detour until you spend a week arguing with stakeholders about what a single word on a button commits you to.
The work I am proudest of tends to look unglamorous: making a save state visible, renaming a field, restructuring a tree so people can find what they just created. On B4 that kind of change took adoption from 30% to 90%.
Lately I have been building as well as designing. Three products are live that I took from idea to shipped using AI tooling, and I have brought the same tooling into how my team at EnlivenHealth researches and hands off work. This site is one more of those builds.
