What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to deliver impactful designs and contribute to a dynamic team's success, fostering a culture of user-centered design.

With over 8 years of experience in UX/UI and product design, I have honed my skills in creating user-centric solutions that enhance digital experiences across various sectors, including Enterprise, B2B, and B2C environments. My expertise lies in design thinking and user research, enabling me to craft intuitive and visually appealing interfaces that not only drive usability but also contribute to business growth.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with diverse teams, including product managers and developers, to implement designs that simplify complex workflows. My role as a Senior UX Designer at Design Macquarium involved improving web and mobile experiences for nearly 500,000 customers in the natural gas industry. I have also led user research initiatives, ensuring that user feedback informs every design choice I make.

I am passionate about delivering impactful designs and am eager to contribute to a dynamic team that values innovation and collaboration. My goal is to continue pushing the boundaries of user experience design while fostering a culture of user-centered design principles.
