What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where I can innovate and grow as a designer.

I am a passionate UX/UI Designer based in Los Angeles, with a strong focus on crafting user interfaces for Web3 applications. My experience includes working with notable clients such as Black Mirror, Deadmau5, and Beatport, where I have honed my skills in layout, typography, and visual hierarchy. I thrive on bringing innovative Web3 applications to life, ensuring that user experiences are not only functional but also visually appealing.

Prior to my current role, I worked as a UI Designer in Pretoria, South Africa, where I gained valuable experience designing Android and iOS applications. My freelance work in Berlin allowed me to tackle complex cybersecurity UX/UI systems, collaborating closely with developers to create effective design solutions. My educational background from the University of Pretoria has equipped me with a solid understanding of high-level coding and development concepts, further enhancing my design capabilities.
