About me

I am a designer with a background in Psychology and 5 years of experience as a psychotherapist, as well as more than 10 years as a ghostwriter for content marketing in the mental health field. I am passionate about inclusion and human diversity, helping those who stand outside the norm find ways to thrive in a world that wasn't built for them, and ultimately building solutions that are fit for their specific needs.
