Hi, I’m Patricia! I’m a UX designer who believes design is about people first. Whether it’s creating a seamless digital product or painting autumn-inspired nail art, I’m most inspired when I’m listening, observing, and translating human needs into meaningful experiences.

My path hasn’t been linear: I studied UX in the Netherlands, spent time in Japan, worked in design roles, then stepped away to rediscover creativity as a nail technician. That experience reminded me that people are wonderfully different and that even the smallest, tailored detail can transform someone’s experience. It also sharpened my empathy, making me a stronger researcher and a better listener.

Now, I’m bringing this perspective back into UX, with a focus on user research and design systems — two areas that match my perfectionist streak, love for accuracy, and desire to solve the right problems. Outside of design, you’ll find me gaming, reading romance-fantasy novels, or chasing the cozy inspiration of autumn colours (which often sneak their way into both my nails and my design work).
