What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values creativity and innovation, where I can contribute to impactful design solutions and grow my skills in a collaborative environment.

I am an experienced Frontend Developer and UI/UX Designer with a strong background in creating user-centric digital experiences. My proficiency in modern frontend technologies such as React, JavaScript, and CSS, combined with expertise in design tools like Figma and Adobe XD, allows me to translate complex user needs into intuitive interfaces. I am currently transitioning into a full-time UI/UX and Product Design role, with a strong focus on solving real user problems through thoughtful, research-driven design.

At PixelEdge, I designed interactive applications that leveraged various APIs to present machine learning insights, contributing to a 30% increase in customer satisfaction scores. I developed a suite of responsive web applications using React and Bootstrap, enhancing user experience through streamlined navigation. My active contributions to the UI/UX design process resulted in a 15% increase in user engagement, showcasing my ability to create impactful digital solutions.

Previously, I led the UI/UX design for a personalized literacy and numeracy game app at Angaza Elimu, integrating African cultural elements to enhance relatability. My work at Esoma Kids and Recess further honed my skills in designing intuitive interfaces that boost user retention and engagement. I am passionate about creating designs that not only look good but also provide meaningful experiences for users.
