Hi! I'm Flora Koti!
Raised by a product engineer father and a design mother, I learned to see the world through the lens of structure and aesthetics long before I knew it was a career.
My transition into digital products felt like a natural evolution, but it was during the Apple Developer Academy that my passion for UX/UI truly ignited.
I am curious, creative, and communicative, and I have worked with web, mobile, and internal platforms, always seeking different, innovative, and functional solutions.
