Where I come from
I started studying design early on, and along the way was fortunate to learn from designers, artists and mentors from Israel, Georgia and Germany.
My background began with visual and physical design, from drawing and painting to ceramics and speculative design. Eventually, I found my way into UX and product design, where I could bring together two sides of myself that I really enjoy: the creative and the technical.
International Teams
At Classeek I worked daily with colleagues in Switzerland, Poland and Israel.
How I work
I enjoy the process of building something together: understanding a problem, questioning what is actually worth making, exploring possibilities, and turning an idea into something real.

What I believe
Ultimately, I want to make things that have a positive place in people’s lives. Products that solve something real, make life a little easier, and quietly do their job well.
For me, good design is almost a hidden hand. You don’t always notice it, but you feel that things work better because it’s there.
Hobbies
I’m curious about crafts and sometimes make side projects, such as Like Chair, a ritual candle and wine cups.
