UX/UI Designer at TransPerfect creating interactive, responsive training courses with user research and visual design.

Message

At TransPerfect, I design and develop interactive, responsive online training courses, using user research and usability testing to improve the learning experience. I create high-fidelity prototypes in Figma and build e-learning modules in Rise360.

At Finer Vision London, I led design initiatives for VR/AR projects and delivered projects across promotional games, VR training, and websites. At Type A Media, I conducted user research and created wireframes and prototypes for two projects.

I bring graphic design roots to UX/UI, with experience in branding, visual design, and creative direction. I also founded EMERGE SW, a streetwear brand that supported a cause each season by donating 10% of profits to an association or institution.
