What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a collaborative role where I can turn user research into UX and UI designs for web/mobile—partnering cross-functionally to improve clarity, reduce friction, and (when it fits) add motion through micro-interactions.

I’m a UI/UX and motion designer with a strong animation foundation and a sharp eye for how people interact with digital products. I’m driven by curiosity about user behavior, and I take a hands-on approach to translating research into clean, purposeful design across web and mobile. I’ve built 12+ interactive prototypes that helped support client pitches and product sign-offs.

In my most recent role as a Jr. UI/UX Designer at Samantechonosys, I conducted competitor analysis, defined information architecture, and delivered UX research through wireframes and high-fidelity Figma prototypes for B2C, B2B, and SaaS platforms. By collaborating with SEO and web development teams, I helped enable 20% faster deployment cycles, and I reduced bounce rates by 7% through targeted, research-grounded UI redesigns. I bring cross-team collaboration, attention to detail, and continuous learning to every project.
