What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a remote UX/UI Designer role where I can leverage my all my design skills (UX, UI, Brand, Content).
I enjoy fast-paced environments like SaaS, EdTech, and AI-driven platforms, collaborating with cross-functional teams to create intuitive solutions. I’d love to work in an Agile setting with opportunities for usability testing, prototyping, and accessibility-driven design.

I started my career as an educator, which shaped my ability to translate complex ideas into engaging, intuitive experiences. That adaptability fuels my work as a UX/UI Designer, where I create products that are both beautiful and functional.

Why Me?
• Research-Driven Design – I use usability testing, analytics, and user insights to refine experiences.
• Content + UX Hybrid – I design with words and visuals, ensuring cohesive brand and product storytelling.
• Agile & Fast-Paced Environments – I thrive in SaaS, EdTech, and AI-driven spaces, adapting to shifting priorities and tight timelines.

Let’s connect if you’re looking for a UX/UI designer who blends strategy, storytelling, and design to create meaningful user experiences.
