What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute UI/UX, front-end, and visual design skills on meaningful digital products, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and keep growing through challenging work in design, technology, and creative problem-solving.

I've designed intelligent AI-powered features and financial dashboards at Chronos, helping investors and financial professionals make clearer decisions from portfolio performance, market trends, and risk metrics.

Across Pixel Addis Solution, BK Technologies, and Kuraz Tech, I've designed responsive web and mobile interfaces, built wireframes and prototypes, and contributed reusable React components for web applications. I also developed the frontend for an HR management system using React and TypeScript and built a studio management system with booking, scheduling, and admin features.

My work combines UI/UX design, front-end development, graphic design, and 2D animation. As a freelance animator, I create characters, storyboards, motion graphics, and educational or advertising animations tailored to client needs.

I'm completing a Computer Science degree at Addis Ababa University and bring experience in content strategy, social media management, animation instruction, and community-focused audiobook production for visually impaired students.
