Versatile UX/UI Designer with a passion for user-centered design.
What I'm looking for
I am a versatile and creative professional with 2 years of experience as a UX/UI Designer and 1 year of hands-on retail merchandising experience. My expertise lies in designing user-centered digital experiences and optimizing in-store product presentation to enhance customer engagement. I possess strong visual and organizational abilities, with a keen eye for layout, flow, and consumer behavior.
At Mpilo Technologies, I designed and implemented responsive user interfaces for web applications, ensuring optimal user experience across all devices. I updated existing UI products to align with brand guidelines and improve accessibility, while also conducting browser and device testing to resolve UI bugs and inconsistencies. My experience in an agile environment has equipped me with the skills to adapt quickly and work collaboratively with teams.
Previously, as a Merchandiser at Pick n Pay, I ensured the freshness of perishable goods through effective inventory management and collaborated with store managers to execute product launches and seasonal promotions. My ability to monitor competitor pricing and merchandising strategies has supported in-store positioning and pricing adjustments, ultimately driving sales and enhancing customer satisfaction.
