Creative UI/UX designer focused on enhancing user experiences.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
As a passionate UI/UX designer based in Nairobi, I thrive on creating intuitive and engaging user experiences. My journey began with a strong foundation in Information Science, which I have built upon through hands-on experience in both design and development roles. At NIX Design, I successfully revamped website flows, reducing misdirected customer service queries by 30% and significantly increasing traffic to previously neglected pages.
My freelance work has allowed me to expand my skills further, where I designed prototypes using Figma and Photoshop, and led a team to create a fitness app during the COVID-19 pandemic. I pride myself on my ability to collaborate effectively with marketing teams to enhance user experience across various platforms, resulting in a 35% increase in revenue. I am committed to continuous improvement and always seek to analyze the impact of my designs on customer retention.
