Born in Romania, currently based in Leeds  Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.

I am a product designer focusing on user interface, user experience and motion design. With previous roles in graphic design, I’ve also gained essential skills in illustration and branding.

With over 10 years experience in the design industry I’ve worked on a wide variety of projects from mobile to web and everything in between. I’m proud to mention just a few of my past collaborations: Newcastle University, Speedflex, BuffwearClose House.

I’m currently part of the Mango Languages Fueled product design team. I’m always open to new opportunities and challenges.

Mango Marketing Website

A challenge we had at Mango just after I joined the team, was to redesign the Mango Languages marketing website.

I have worked with the team on a series of concepts for the landing page, as well as custom illustrations, icons and animations.

This was an awesome team effort, everyone contributing equally to deliver an awesome design and experience.

Brew App

Grinding and brewing coffee makes for the freshest, tastiest brews, yet it’s sometimes difficult to know the exact amount of coffee to use for a pourover, or the precise grind you need to for a french press.

The goal was to design an app that allows the user to search for a specific coffee roaster and the recommended weight, grind, and brewing technique for that particular bean.

Mango for watchOS

Part of an innovation challenge at Mango Languages, I worked on this conceptual prototype. The goal was to make a watchOS app with the main feature of the Mango App.

Taking a quick lesson or quiz while commuting or when your phone battery is nearly gone :) In this example you can see a simple flow, going from the main app screen, selecting a lesson/quiz and going through the slides.
