What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values creativity and innovation, offering opportunities for growth and impactful design projects.

With over 7 years of experience in product design, I have dedicated my career to creating usable, accessible, and user-centered digital products across various industries, including publishing, finance, e-commerce, and agriculture. My role as Lead UI/UX Designer at Deveint Ltd has allowed me to redefine how technological concepts are presented to clients, using Hi-Fidelity models and storyboards to bring complex ideas to life.

Throughout my career, I have focused on enhancing user experiences by collaborating closely with project managers, engineers, and developers to ensure high standards of design quality. My efforts have led to a significant reduction in post-release issues and increased client satisfaction. Additionally, my experience at Kazi+ involved leading social media artwork creation, resulting in a 200% growth in community engagement and a substantial increase in platform sign-ups.
