What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where I can innovate and grow as a designer.

I am a dedicated UI/UX designer with a strong foundation in user interface and user experience design. My journey began with a certification from Uncommon.org, where I specialized in UI/UX design, complemented by a digital marketing certification from Google Garage. My education has equipped me with the skills to create engaging and user-friendly digital experiences.

Currently, I work at TD & Partners, where I conduct user research, develop wireframes, and collaborate closely with developers and product managers to ensure design accuracy. My previous role at Raysun Capital allowed me to manage the design process from ideation to handover, enhancing my ability to deliver user-centric solutions. I am committed to staying updated with the latest UI/UX trends and continuously improving usability and accessibility in my designs.
