Creative and empathetic Product Designer passionate about impactful designs.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate Product Designer with a strong commitment to creating compelling and impactful designs. My journey in design began with a B.A. in Global Business & Digital Arts from the University of Waterloo, where I honed my skills in multimedia design. I have since completed comprehensive UX/UI design certifications from Springboard and Google, equipping me with the tools to produce high-quality visuals that resonate with brand identity.
In my recent role as a UX Designer at InPower, I collaborated with a social media startup to enhance user experience by designing personalized app features. My work involved close collaboration with executives to ensure that our design decisions aligned with business goals. Additionally, as a Visual Designer for Green Owl Vodka, I led creative projects that resulted in an impressive 860% increase in social media presence, showcasing my ability to blend creativity with strategic thinking.
My projects, including the OpenCourt platform and Kick Street Collective, reflect my dedication to user-centered design. I thrive on empathizing with users to identify their needs and pain points, which informs my design process. I am eager to bring my skills and insights to a dynamic team where I can contribute to innovative design solutions.
