What I'm looking for

I’m seeking UX/UI roles where I can apply research-driven design, improve accessibility, and collaborate cross-functionally to create measurable product improvements.

I am a UI/UX designer with one year of focused experience creating accessible, user-centered designs for e-commerce and travel applications. I combine hands-on user research, usability testing, and prototyping in Figma and Adobe XD to deliver responsive web and mobile experiences that measurably improve discoverability and conversion.

My background in retail, pet care, and environmental studies informs a customer-first approach; I’ve led projects that sped product selection by 40% and reduced decision time by 60%, and I build information architectures and journeys that increase conversions and reduce user confusion.
