My Journey

I believe technology should work for everyone — not just the tech-savvy.

I specialize in designing democratic participation platforms for elderly users and community organizations.

I've built accessible B2B2C systems that help communities make collective decisions, influence political agendas, and engage in civic life digitally.


Before design, I worked as a medical equipment biotechnologist and full-stack developer. This technical background helps me collaborate effectively with developers and think systematically about complex problems.


When I'm not designing, you'll find me hiking, painting, or piloting ultralights over the Israeli landscape.

my background

My Journey

My Journey

I draw inspiration from the balance of design and active exploration — hiking through nature, piloting ultralights through open skies, or expressing thoughts through painting. These diverse interests have shaped my creative perspective and approach to problem-solving.

Always curious and detail-oriented, I enjoy learning new tools and methods that expand my design toolkit. Whether collaborating with talented teams or tackling independent projects, I focus on transforming complex challenges into thoughtful, user-centered solutions.

I believe design works best when it balances technical skill with empathy, creating intuitive and meaningful experiences for those who use them.

I believe technology should work for everyone — not just the tech-savvy.
