What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative UX/graphic role where I can lead user-centered design, improve accessibility, prototype in Figma, and contribute branding and marketing to drive measurable engagement.

I am a UX and graphic designer who blends research-driven UX with branding and visual design, focused on accessibility and clarity. I designed a hotel booking platform from research through a high-fidelity Figma prototype, improving navigation and pricing clarity through user interviews and usability testing.

I use tools such as Figma, Miro and Adobe XD to build interactive prototypes, create affinity diagrams, map user flows and produce annotated screens for developer handoff. My process emphasizes data-driven design optimization and accessibility standards to iterate on clarity and usability.

I have delivered branding, marketing and digital assets for freelance clients and volunteer projects, producing logos, promotional materials and cohesive visual identities. I enjoy working with cross-functional teams to translate research insights into intuitive, engaging interfaces.
