What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role in a tech-forward company where I can leverage my skills in UI/UX design and application development while contributing to innovative projects and growing my expertise.

I am a results-driven Computer Science (Honours) graduate with a Cum Laude distinction, specializing in application development and UI/UX design. My academic journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in user-centered problem-solving, allowing me to transform complex challenges into intuitive digital solutions. I thrive in collaborative environments and have demonstrated leadership in both academic and extracurricular roles.

In my recent role as a Digital Design Specialist at Therapy On The Go, I spearheaded creative direction for internal campaigns, enhancing employee engagement through effective digital assets. My internship at Kagisano Foundation allowed me to apply my front-end coding skills to real-world projects, significantly improving accessibility for users. I am passionate about contributing to forward-thinking tech environments and continuously seek opportunities for hands-on experience and growth.
