I’m a product designer who’s comfortable with code. I make web apps, mobile apps, and complex internal systems usable and reliable. I follow new technology closely and enjoy bringing AI into design workflows.

I believe a good product can only be built through evolution, one release at a time. You can’t spend two years polishing the design and the interactions and then ship something remarkably usable and current — the world moves too fast for that.

I can make things beautiful, but I don’t chase trends. Good design doesn’t age. A new style won’t save a product — quality and attention to detail will.

Naia · News Digest

My own pet project — a news app built with React Native that uses AI to gather and digest stories from trusted sources like Bloomberg, MIT Tech Review, NASA, Ukrainska Pravda and Hacker News, adding context and unexpected connections. It runs on the web and ships as native apps for iOS and Android. Visit the website ›

Coffee timer app

I love brewing and making coffee, and I use apps that help calculate proportions and track time. My favorite app works well, but it has a design that doesn’t satisfy me, so I decided to take a different approach to it. You can read more in the post ›
