Hi, nice to meet you.
I'm Emilia, a UX designer based in London. Outside of work, you'll find me at the gym, running along the Thames (preferably with a sweet treat after), or learning something new—whether it’s through my Italian classes, books on productivity and neuroscience, or experimenting with AI tools in design. I also love spending time outdoors and traveling, so having a trip planned is always a must.
