What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values creativity and innovation, where I can further develop my design skills and contribute to impactful projects.

As a Design Lead specializing in UX and UI, I am dedicated to improving user experiences in the digital space. My journey began with a strong educational foundation, including a UX & UI Design Certification from Springboard and an MBA in Retail Management. I thrive on identifying customer pain points and delivering innovative solutions that enhance product usability.

In my recent role at IBM, I led projects utilizing agile methodologies, conducting usability testing to drive design improvements for the Maximo application. My experience spans various industries, where I have successfully designed new features and revamped user flows to optimize user engagement. I am passionate about collaborating with cross-functional teams to prioritize UX challenges and deliver impactful design solutions.

Throughout my career, I have developed a robust skill set in user-centric design, interaction design, and user research. My freelance projects further showcase my versatility, as I have designed mobile applications that cater to diverse user needs. I am eager to continue growing in my field and contribute to creating exceptional user experiences.
