What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, allowing me to leverage my design skills to create impactful user experiences.

I am a passionate UX/UI designer with a strong background in leading design teams and delivering user-centered solutions. Currently, I am serving as a UX/UI/Graphic Design Team Lead Intern at GBCS Group, where I lead a 20-person intern design team in developing an internal fleet management platform. My role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to research and design solutions for both mobile and desktop applications. I have successfully conducted user interviews to identify pain points and designed responsive wireframes and high-fidelity UI in Figma, ensuring accessibility and adherence to WCAG guidelines.

In my previous role as a Lens Design Specialist at Orion Vision Group, I designed and customized specialty contact lenses, focusing on balancing clinical prescriptions with user comfort and optical precision. This experience honed my problem-solving skills and attention to detail, as I collaborated closely with optometrists and lab technicians to deliver tailored solutions. My commitment to empathetic design has allowed me to translate user needs into effective technical solutions, improving real-world outcomes.
