About

Hi, I'm Mélina, a curious, optimistic and people-centered designer.

I’m passionate about design methodologies and how they can spark meaningful change in complex environments. Whether I’m working on a UX framework for critical systems or collaborating with engineers on early product concepts, I always bring curiosity, structure, and a human touch to the table.

What defines me most?

I love to listen. Truly listening to users, to teammates, to the context is where every good design begins. I also strongly believe that a smile, a bit of humor, and genuine care go a long way when building great products and great teams.

If you're looking for someone who combines rigorous thinking with empathy and energy, I’d love to connect.
