About

AMYRA designs and engineers thoughtful, resilient, inclusive digital experiences - from intersectional UX and art direction to accessible, maintainable implementation in lean CMS stacks like Kirby.

DIGITAL DESIGN & ART DIRECTION

As a digital designer, I create interfaces rooted in research, user needs, and stakeholder perspectives. I distil insights into clear visual and content concepts — aiming to strike the right tone: sensitive, bold, playful, or minimal.

Beyond interface design, I work across disciplines and take on art direction to shape cohesive visual systems and narratives. I think holistically about projects, connecting concept, design, and execution to create consistent and meaningful experiences.

WEB DEVELOPMENT

As a web developer, I build accessible, inclusive, and scalable digital experiences. I focus on long-term maintainability, simple and robust solutions, and digital sovereignty.

I work with web standards and minimal dependencies to create performant, resilient products that serve diverse users. My approach combines technical responsibility with a strong focus on usability, accessibility, and lasting impact.
