Deborah Stoleru
Deborah is an Italian-born with Romanian heritage. The High School she attended focused on scientific subjects like Chemistry, Anatomy and Microbiology, but despite the interest in these topics her real passion has always been Art. She always seeks art and creativity as the main pillar and first requirement of any job. After she finished High School she took some time to document, experience more and find out what professional career to pursue. Nowadays, there are many jobs that require artistic talent and a creative mindset, for this reason she has the motivation to start her journey on becoming a self-taught UX/UI Designer.
What she likes about this profession is that it combines skills like creative design, empathy, psychology and many more, in just one job.
Besides the professional achievements, she also wants to focus on deeper human values. She was part of the food collection in her home town, and they collected all types of foods which would then have been sent to poorer countries. This was an eye-opener experience, and it gave her a real feeling of connection and sense of community. Helping others is a fulfilling experience and now she is more than excited to join our team!

She joins our team and shares with us her words: “In life, for me it is something fundamental to be able to help, to constantly put myself in the shoes of other people, and to give my best at all times. There is nothing so unique, as the feeling one can get when good is being done and serving someone who really needs it. That feeling is even greater when you know that from that good action, a person’s decisions and life events can change for the better. I am happy when I find myself giving all my love and it is welcomed. One of the greatest passions I have is being able to share all my affections with the people I love and in need”.
