What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a product-focused UI/UX role where I can design user-centered interfaces, run usability research, and collaborate closely with developers while building scalable design systems.

I’m a product-focused UI/UX Designer with experience creating intuitive, user-centered, and scalable digital experiences. I combine system thinking, user flows, and design systems with a background in frontend development to translate complex requirements into structured interfaces.

At Cypso Labs, I designed intuitive, visually consistent UI that improved usability and user flow. I created wireframes, interactive prototypes, and UI components, and I developed and maintained design systems and style guides to keep designs consistent across platforms—while collaborating closely with developers to reduce design-to-development gaps.

Previously as a Web Developer / IT at FECT, I built and deployed a real-time interactive map for air quality and weather data, managed and optimized WordPress sites, and supported a mobile application for location-based weather information. I’m now eager to keep growing through practical, industry-relevant work and strong cross-functional collaboration.
