UX/UI designer focused on user-centered digital experiences and practical, research-driven design.
What I'm looking for
I am a UX/UI designer with hands-on experience in user research, wireframing, prototyping, and visual design, backed by a Google UX Design Certificate and practical projects completed in Figma.
I have improved digital experiences at organizations like Swarm Initiative and Crystal Frozen, leading website redesigns, creating brand assets, and applying usability testing to increase engagement and clarity.
I bring strong communication, collaborative teamwork, and a detail-oriented mindset, complemented by front-end fundamentals (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) that help bridge design and development.
