What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where I can leverage my design skills to create user-centric solutions and contribute to innovative projects.

As a passionate UX/UI Designer, I thrive on transforming user insights into impactful design solutions. Currently, I spearhead UX/UI improvements for a SaaS platform at Equadis, where I leverage user feedback and data-driven insights to enhance the overall user experience. My role involves conducting extensive user research and usability testing to identify pain points, implementing A/B testing methodologies, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to execute comprehensive plans for deploying new user experiences.

Previously, I managed website optimization strategies at Social Boosting, achieving a 20% boost in conversion rates through strategic enhancements. My experience also includes co-founding HUMUS, where I played a pivotal role in developing a sustainability-focused product. I have a strong foundation in wireframing, prototyping, and user research, which I utilize to create designs that not only meet user needs but also drive business success.
