I am glad that you want to know more
After 9 years of developing my sales skills (soooo many calls and emails!). I needed to take a break to find what would be my next big step. I went through personal coaching that brought the realization that I valued learning and teaching. It felt natural to offer my sales knowledge to others so that they can achieve their own dreams. At that time, I knew I wanted to create my company. But, I needed to add a twist…
As a kid, I always wanted to be a designer (true story). Besides, always being so customer-centric as a sales representative (lots of questioning, remember?), UX Design came instinctively. I studied UX/UI with extensive training of 600 hours. The very hands-on approach, the numerous discussion with my mentor and my tutor helped me understand and, hone the process required to create the best possible experience for users.
My mission
Simply put, I want to inspire you to be daring!
By supporting businesses that go against the flow, I wish to celebrate the difference. Since I believe that difference can make a difference in the world, step by step.
I believe that the sales and UX duo can achieve wonders. Both focused on the customers and users they can create the groundwork for long term success.

Humour
Learning is a long and difficult process and bringing a bit of fun to the table helps our minds imprint new information.
