UX/UI design of app: Peerio

During this project (2017-2018) I collaborated with other designers to create a mobile application focused on top-tier security for both chat and file storage.

We worked seamlessly as a team, dividing tasks for key features and leveraging each other’s strengths to ensure a cohesive, secure, and user-friendly experience. Our collaboration involved workshops, research and continuous feedback loops, making sure every element—from UI to encryption protocols—aligned with the app’s security goals while delivering a smooth user experience.

Designing a cross-platform experience

As designers for Peerio, our approach was always rooted in crafting a seamless, cohesive experience across mobile, tablet, and desktop platforms. Our goal was to make sure that, regardless of the device, users would feel that familiar Peerio touch — intuitive, secure, and visually consistent.

UX Research

I actively contribute beyond design work by applying my research expertise to drive user-centered solutions. This includes leading usability studies, guerrilla research, prototype testing, and more—not only for my designs but across projects whenever needed to support the entire design team. I regularly present insights and refine designs based on findings, ensuring a consistently high standard of usability and a strong focus on user needs throughout the product development process.
