What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a design role where I can blend UX/UI and AI to prototype smarter experiences, collaborate cross-functionally, and use storytelling to drive engagement—while leveraging motion and e-learning craft to ship memorable, accessible work.

I’m a multidisciplinary designer with over 15 years of experience creating innovative, impactful visual solutions across print, digital, broadcast, and e-learning. I specialize in UX/UI, graphic design, AI design, and motion design—bringing together creativity and strategy to deliver memorable user experiences.

As a Senior Graphic & UX/UI Designer at Loveworld Publishing, I lead cross-functional design projects and build brand systems, motion assets, and interactive experiences. I also implemented AI-assisted workflows, boosting creative efficiency by 30% and enhancing client engagement through optimized UX.

As an AI Designer & UX AI Specialist (Freelance / Remote), I develop AI-driven UX prototypes and intelligent user flows, partnering with startups to integrate machine learning into creative pipelines to reduce turnaround times and improve user satisfaction. Earlier, I designed interactive e-learning modules and produced motion graphics and broadcast visuals, always centered on empathy, storytelling, and learner/user engagement.
