Human-centered UX designer with a healthcare and data science background.
What I'm looking for
As a human-centered UX designer, I specialize in transforming complex data into intuitive digital solutions. My background in healthcare and data science equips me with a unique perspective, allowing me to create user-centered designs that enhance accessibility and usability. I thrive in collaborative environments, where I can contribute to product strategy from research through to launch.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a keen eye for detail and a commitment to producing scalable design systems. At Velinxi Art, I successfully designed and optimized product visuals, resulting in a 100% increase in readership and engagement. My experience at Agora Tutoring further solidified my skills in data-informed design, where I boosted sign-ups by 100% through strategic UX copywriting and user research.
In addition to my design expertise, my internship at Healthfirst NY provided me with valuable insights into healthcare UX challenges. I collaborated with stakeholders to develop a machine learning model that predicted healthcare access barriers, ultimately leading to enhanced patient engagement strategies. I am passionate about creating accessible, data-informed product experiences that truly meet user needs.
