Proactive UX/UI designer delivering research-driven, user-centered digital experiences.
What I'm looking for
I am a proactive and adaptable UX/UI designer with hands-on experience in user research, wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing. I combine a positive outlook with quick learning abilities to contribute effectively to product teams.
During UX/UI trainee roles, I conducted user research, created wireframes and interactive prototypes in Figma, and assisted in UI design aligned with brand guidelines. I participated in usability testing and iterated designs based on feedback to improve product outcomes.
I maintain documentation, design assets, and style guides, and collaborate closely with mentors, developers, and stakeholders using tools like Jira, Confluence, and Git. I have familiarity with web standards, design systems, and Agile/Scrum methodologies.
I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration in Applied Computer Applications and completed UX/UI coursework and a startup business school program; I seek opportunities to apply my UX skills in collaborative teams focused on user-centered product development.
