UI/UX Designer with 3+ years turning user needs into intuitive digital experiences.
What I'm looking for
I’m a UI/UX Designer with 3+ years of experience translating user needs into intuitive web and mobile experiences. I’ve helped increase engagement by 30% and conversions by 20%+ through thoughtful design and user research.
In my current role at Webgig (Remote, Canada), I collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver custom web UX research solutions for North American clients across e-commerce, SaaS, and related services. I also contribute to design systems and component libraries, run user research/usability testing, and optimize conversion funnels.
Previously at UAC Restaurants, I redesigned key mobile app and website elements—especially checkout flow and navigation—to improve the user experience. I also developed in-store digital signage that reduced perceived wait times by 15% and improved customer satisfaction, while marketing collaboration increased foot traffic by 18% quarter-over-quarter.
Alongside design work, I mentor and educate—building an engaged community of 1,500+ aspiring designers and providing one-on-one mentorship to 20+ junior designers. I create detailed UI/UX case studies and resources and believe great design should be accessible to anyone who wants to learn it.
