About me
About me
I’m Ana - Senior Product Designer with a PhD in Computer Science and 8+ years of experience designing web and mobile tools across B2B SaaS, fintech, and maritime tech.
I specialize in making complex systems usable - turning backend-heavy workflows and legacy platforms into clean, scalable interfaces. With a foundation in engineering, I speak dev fluently and design with real-world constraints in mind.
I care about clarity, structure, and creating interfaces that feel effortless - even when the logic underneath is anything but.
