What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my design skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on user-centered projects that challenge my creativity and contribute to meaningful solutions.

I am a dynamic and innovative professional with 8 years of experience, including 1 year in UI/UX design. My journey began as a digital illustration artist, where I honed my skills in creating compelling assets and intuitive interfaces for apps and websites. At Paythrough Software Solutions, I successfully drove projects from concept to implementation, including a money lending app called Nagad, where I created 10 interfaces and prototypes.

Throughout my career, I have worked on various projects that showcase my ability to blend creativity with user-centric design. From crafting impactful thumbnails for digital comics to producing game assets and illustrations, I have consistently delivered high-quality work. My proficiency in tools like Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and my strong understanding of user research and usability testing enable me to create designs that not only look good but also enhance user experience.
