@keanuriechel
UI/UX Product Designer and Front-End Developer creating intuitive, user-centered digital experiences.
What I'm looking for
I am a UI/UX Product Designer and Front-End Developer with professional certifications in UI/UX Design, Front-End Development, and Data Analysis. I bring an engineering foundation and experience as an ex-AWS engineer, combined with six-plus years leading HVAC projects for clients like McCain’s and Marriott.
As owner of a freelance web-design agency, I delivered 40+ design projects and developed full brand identities for over 10 clients, managing end-to-end workflows from research and concept to delivery. I regularly use Figma, Framer, Elementor, and VS Code to produce wireframes, prototypes, and responsive websites.
My technical skills include HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Vue.js, Git/GitHub, SQL, and data-capture techniques, paired with user-centered design, prototyping, and responsive web development. I emphasize stakeholder management, scalable design thinking, and measurable product outcomes.
I am seeking remote UI/UX or Product Designer roles with European teams while based in South Africa, focused on creating intuitive interfaces that drive both user satisfaction and business value.
