@elizabethkafaru
I design inclusive, research-driven UX/UI for impactful digital products.
What I'm looking for
I'm an innovative UX/UI designer who blends moderated user research with design thinking to build usable, accessible digital products. I led end-to-end design for property search platforms and enterprise tools, conducting research with 100+ participants and improving user satisfaction by 25% while reducing task completion time by 18%.
I craft sketches, wireframes, low- and high-fidelity prototypes using Adobe XD and Figma and draw on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to ease implementation. I mentor junior designers, advocate for accessibility and inclusion, and collaborate closely with product managers and engineers to maintain design consistency and drive measurable product outcomes.
