What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values creativity and collaboration, where I can contribute to meaningful projects that enhance user experiences.

I am a versatile and detail-oriented UI Designer with a proven track record of creating user-centered, accessible, and visually compelling digital interfaces. My experience includes designing user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and mockups using industry-standard tools such as Figma. I thrive in collaborative environments and have a strong focus on accessibility and inclusive user experiences.

Throughout my career, I have worked on various projects, including an online streaming platform and a toddler app integrated with AI. My approach involves conducting user research, synthesizing feedback, and creating personas and user journeys to understand user needs. I am committed to delivering intuitive designs that enhance user engagement and foster community interaction.

My technical skills include proficiency in Figma, wireframing, prototyping, and a foundational knowledge of HTML/CSS. I have a strong understanding of design systems and component libraries, which I utilize to create scalable and effective solutions. I am passionate about improving usability and accessibility in all my designs, ensuring that they meet the needs of diverse users.
