Figma Wizard
- Interface designHigh-fidelity screens built with auto layout, variables and a clear visual hierarchy.
- Interaction explorationTesting flows and micro-interactions with variants and smart animate before committing.
- Rapid prototypingClickable prototypes that put ideas in front of people early and often.
- Components & design systemsReusable components, tokens and documentation that keep work consistent as products grow.

HCI-Minded
- Research firstInterviews, observation and usability tests show where people struggle before I design.
- Usability principlesHeuristic evaluation and established guidelines catch problems while they are still cheap to fix.
- Human behaviorMental models, attention and cognitive load shape my layouts, wording and flows.
- Evidence-based decisionsFindings become journeys and priorities, so every design choice traces back to real needs.

My dream.
Outside of work I liek to attend airshows. I travel, take photos and explore VR. New places keep my eyes fresh and my ideas curious.
Back to start
I’m Gleda.
A Product Designer based in Paris 🇫🇷.
I like to design products and interfaces and learn how people interact with systems, from everyday digital products to complex human-machine interfaces.
Currently based in Porto 🇵🇹 for student exchange, and looking for internship role starting Febraury or March 2027.
How did I end up here?
