What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters creativity and innovation, allowing me to grow as a designer while contributing to impactful projects.

As a passionate Product Designer, I thrive on creating user-centered designs that enhance user experiences and drive engagement. My journey began with a Bachelor of Engineering in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, where I developed a solid foundation in design principles and methodologies. Currently, I am leading projects at Dayzero AI, where I successfully revamped product flows and implemented a design system, resulting in a significant increase in user retention and engagement.

My experience spans various roles, from a Junior Product Designer at AcquX to a UI Designer Trainee at Accenture, where I honed my skills in user research, prototyping, and stakeholder management. I have a proven track record of delivering impactful design solutions that align with user needs and business goals. My freelance work as a Front-End Web Developer further complements my design expertise, allowing me to create visually appealing and functional web applications.
