What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, where I can lead design projects and contribute to meaningful user experiences.

As a Senior Product Designer, I have dedicated my career to enhancing user experiences through innovative design and strategic thinking. With a strong background in UI/UX design, I have successfully led teams and projects that prioritize user-centric solutions, ensuring that every design element serves a purpose and enhances usability.

My journey has taken me through various roles, from Senior UI/UX Designer at Invesp LLC to Senior Product Designer at Euromonitor International. I have a proven track record of improving conversion rates and user satisfaction by conducting thorough user research and testing. My passion for design is matched by my commitment to ethical practices, as I believe that design should not only be functional but also align with my values.

Throughout my career, I have received accolades for my work, including the Marketing Campaign of the Year award at Hella Automotive South Africa. I am eager to continue my journey in a role that allows me to innovate and collaborate with like-minded professionals who share my vision for impactful design.
