What I'm looking for

I seek a user-centered role where I can lead research, conduct usability testing, build design systems, and grow within collaborative teams.

I am an English language graduate turned UX researcher and junior UX/UI designer with hands-on experience conducting qualitative research, usability testing, and building design systems. I bring analytical rigor and a passion for making products more user-centered.

In my most recent role as a User Research Officer at Nupco, I introduced user research practices across the company, created user research plans and executive reports, and ran usability and prototype tests using software and hardware tools.

I have managed end-to-end client projects, conducted competitor analyses, built user journeys and personas, and iterated UI designs based on testing and client feedback. I designed and documented components and patterns in Figma to support consistent product development.

I am motivated by collaborative, learning-driven teams where I can apply research, testing, and design skills to improve product experiences and help organizations become more user-centered.
