Hi! I'm Sofia, an impact-driven designer rooted in human-centered digital solutions.
As a designer, I am constantly working at the intersection of imagination and problem-solving. I am deeply passionate about creating products and experiences for real people.
In my work, I use a human-centered approach to create high-quality, intentional designs that are functional and impactful. I believe good design is not only beautiful, it is also a seamless extension of the individual.

In My Free Time
I love spending my free time outdoors. You can usually find me by a body of water with my watercolor pan and a healthy spread of snacks. I keep my digital camera with me at all times to capture my latest adventures, along with a sketchbook for doodles and mementos.

I love visiting museums, watching Architectural Digest videos, and trying out new recipes.
I am often baking something new to share and hosting dinner parties with friends. I love
getting to use my creativity to bring people together for some fun.
