What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, allowing me to innovate and grow within a dynamic team.

With over 8 years of experience in product and UX design, I have honed my skills in creating purpose-driven digital products that resonate with users. My journey began with a Master’s degree in Information Technology from Leeds Beckett University, which laid the foundation for my design philosophy centered around meticulous attention to detail and user-centric solutions.

Currently, I serve as a Design Lead at Intuji, where I successfully introduced a structured design process that streamlined workflows and enhanced collaboration. My role involves integrating user research to drive impactful design decisions that align with business goals. Additionally, I freelance with Toptal, providing elite product and UX services to high-profile clients, ensuring quality and innovation in every deliverable.

Throughout my career, I have lead design teams and managed projects that have significantly improved business efficiency for clients in various sectors. My experience spans from designing a CRM platform for education consultants to developing a web app for fleet management. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and creativity through my Instagram channel, Shot of Design, where I feature design artwork and foster a learning community.
