What I'm looking for

I seek a user-focused design role where I can lead research-driven projects, collaborate cross-functionally, and grow by solving real user problems.

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.
