I am a UI/UX designer and former IT instructor driving user-centered design and developer collaboration.
PhilippinesWhat I'm looking for
I am a UI/UX designer and former Information Technology college instructor with five years of teaching experience and a record of outstanding teaching performance.
As the sole UI/UX designer on a cross-functional product team, I led design for a B2B/B2C SaaS admin dashboard used by sales organizations across the U.S., reducing design-to-dev turnaround by 40% and improving website engagement by 35%.
I collaborated closely with developers to ensure seamless handoff from wireframes to functional UI components, presented feature designs to leadership, and applied usability testing and heatmap analytics to reduce user friction in key workflows by 25%.
I bring hands-on front-end experience (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, MySQL) and proficiency with Figma, Framer and Adobe Creative Suite, plus product tools like ClickUp, Asana and HubSpot. I’m looking to apply my IT and design skills to drive product improvements and measurable business results.
