What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my design skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on innovative projects that prioritize user experience and accessibility.

I am a tech-savvy UX and web designer with over 10 years of experience working remotely across startups and freelance projects. My expertise lies in user experience, content optimization, and self-directed project delivery. I am known for my clear communication, independent problem-solving, and strategic thinking, making me an ideal candidate for remote AI training roles that require strong analytical and language skills.

Currently, I work as a Web Designer at Kat Irwin Design, where I design websites and brand systems for ethical and purpose-led businesses. I manage the entire project lifecycle, from strategy and content to UX, design, and development. My focus on developing clear communication systems for non-technical clients has allowed me to optimize clarity and accessibility through effective content structure and user research.

Previously, I worked as a Freelance UX Designer, delivering user experience solutions for web apps and mobile platforms. I collaborated with international teams to transform concepts into functional digital tools, applying user-centered thinking to create intuitive user journeys. My role as the sole designer at a fintech startup involved building brand identity and enhancing usability through effective design strategies.
