I'm a designer who loves airplane window seats and ice cream, but dairy doesn't agree with me.

I'm Rita, a designer with over 10 years of experience. Since I was a child, I've been curious and ambitious, often causing a few heart attacks on my parents with my adventurous spirit. As I grew up, I fell in love with the shapes and colours of design, delving deeper into the vast design world with each passing day.

Always up for a challenge, I've ventured into different fields of work and countries, living in cities like Sydney and Dublin. Each new environment presented its own set of challenges and rewards, shaping my unique design perspective along the way.
During my career, I've had the chance to explore diverse roles, ranging from art direction in advertising for major brands to graphic design for print media, and from branding for storytelling of emerging brands to my current focus on UX/UI design for interface development.

I'm a bit of a mixed bag—sometimes loud and goofy, other times quiet and concentrated with my headphones on. My diverse experiences have been crucial to my growth as a designer, and I'm now settling into the world of digital design, convinced it's the future I want to contribute to.

When I'm not immersed in the design world, you can find me indulging in my other passions. I lose myself in the pages of books, volunteer at Re-food, expand my plant collection (although I don’t have that much space left), savour music at full volume, hike amidst nature's beauty, take pictures, discover new places & cultures, or whip up delicious meals. There's never a dull moment with me—I'm always ready for the next adventure, whether in pixels or culinary creations.
