What I'm looking for

I'm looking for like-minded colleagues who share a passion for creating impactful user experiences. I want to leverage my expertise to produce significant value and continuously improve my skills in a collaborative and innovative environment.

As a multifaceted professional with a strong foundation in UX design, visual design, and programming, I leverage my diverse experience to bring a unique blend of cross-functional skills. With a solid education background and various certifications, I am confident in my ability to deliver exceptional results.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my expertise in client consultation, UX research, UX strategy, information architecture design, appearance design, and testing process. My proficiency in Figma, Adobe XD, and Adobe Creative Cloud enables me to effectively collaborate and communicate with stakeholders.

With a passion for empowering others, I have also volunteered as a UX Design Career Mentor and Digital Literacy Tutor, guiding individuals in achieving their career goals and improving their digital literacy.
