What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to innovate and collaborate in a dynamic environment, focusing on user-centered design and creative problem-solving.

As a Lead UI/UX Designer and freelancer at gjdesign.pro, I specialize in creating intuitive and visually appealing interfaces that enhance user experiences. My journey in design began with a Bachelor's in Communication Design, where I honed my skills in user research and interface design. I have since worked on various projects, leading UI design initiatives for Web3 products and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver innovative solutions.

My education at Harbour.Space University, where I pursued an MS in Interaction Design, equipped me with advanced prototyping skills and a strong foundation in user-centric design principles. I have successfully led design projects at PhonePe and IDS.Company, focusing on creating user-friendly interfaces that align with business goals. My passion for design extends to mentoring teams and sharing my knowledge of advanced design tools and methodologies.
