What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful user experiences and grow my skills in UX design.

As a passionate UX Researcher and Design Analyst, I thrive on creating user-centered solutions that enhance digital experiences. My journey began with a Bachelor of Design in User Experience, where I honed my skills in research methods, usability testing, and design strategies. I have successfully collaborated with cross-functional teams to implement evidence-based recommendations that improve user engagement and satisfaction.

Throughout my internships and freelance projects, I have conducted extensive user interviews and usability testing, translating insights into actionable design improvements. My work at AuraAI involved analyzing user behavior patterns and optimizing AI-driven shopping workflows, while my volunteer experience at Samveda Training & Research Centre allowed me to conduct a comprehensive UX audit that led to significant usability enhancements. I am committed to continuous learning and applying my skills to create impactful user experiences.
