What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote entry-level UX/UI role where I can learn from experienced designers, contribute to meaningful products, and keep growing my skills. I’m also open to occasional travel for team meetups.

I’m a Medical Laboratory Science student applying the same curiosity, precision, and evidence-based mindset from the lab to UX/UI design. I build user-centered experiences with a strong focus on accessibility (WCAG 2.1) and inclusive design, so people can use products with confidence.

In my mental health app concept for university students, I led the design end-to-end after research showed users stopped using existing apps because they felt complicated or too clinical. I interviewed 12 students to understand their challenges, simplified the mood check-in from seven steps to four, and used timed tests to validate that completion dropped from 4 minutes to 2.1 minutes.

I also tested the redesigned flow with eight participants—most described it as simple, calming, and easy to use. To support comfort and trust, I created a calm visual style and added a private journaling feature that helps users feel more comfortable sharing their thoughts.

For a separate mobile banking app redesign, I focused on usability and speed for everyday tasks. I cut the transfer process from five steps to three, improved timed results (from 4.2 minutes to 2.5 minutes), and built a library of 20+ reusable components to keep the interface consistent—then reorganized the dashboard so transfers, bill payments, and balance checks are easier to find.
