What I'm looking for

I am seeking a company that prioritizes and actively embraces the principles of design thinking. An organization that is committed to self-improvement, the well-being of its employees, and long-term growth. A company that upholds values such as honesty, integrity, and a dedication to innovation.

I have a wealth of experience as a lead designer in cross-functional agile teams, precisely addressing these needs. With a foundation in visual design encompassing branding and marketing, I am deeply enthusiastic about propelling products to new heights through a human-centered design methodology. This involves leveraging user research driven by data, fostering innovative and swift iterations, and crafting visually striking UI designs that prioritize the user experience.
