What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values creativity and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful projects and grow my skills in a supportive environment.

As a Senior UI/UX Designer, I have a strong background in mobile-first design, leveraging my expertise in Figma to create intuitive and responsive interfaces for both web and native mobile platforms. My experience spans over several years, during which I have transformed complex user interactions into visually engaging and accessible experiences. I pride myself on my keen eye for detail, ensuring that my designs are not only aesthetically pleasing but also developer-ready and aligned with platform-specific guidelines.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated closely with developer teams to deliver high-quality software solutions. My freelance work involved designing and developing information systems for small-scale retail shop owners, integrating UI/UX best practices to enhance user interactions. At Konnect (Ahadi Corporation), I have taken on various roles, including Software Engineer, where I have led the design and development of multiple projects, such as the Foodplus Ecommerce App and the Konnect Wallet interface. My commitment to continuous improvement and user-centric design principles drives my work.
