What I'm looking for

I am seeking a collaborative environment where I can leverage my design skills to create impactful user experiences and grow professionally.

As a passionate Product Designer, I thrive on creating user-centered products that resonate with target audiences. My journey began with a Higher National Diploma in Games and Interactive Design, which laid the foundation for my career in design. Over the years, I have honed my skills in user interface and user experience design, leading projects from concept to implementation.

At Third Space Global, I have successfully led design sprints and mentored junior designers, ensuring that our products not only meet but exceed user expectations. My experience includes conducting user research, developing personas, and applying design thinking principles to create visually compelling and functional interfaces. I am dedicated to optimizing user experiences and fostering collaboration among cross-functional teams.
