What I'm looking for

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

I am a creative and detail-oriented Product Designer with a solid foundation in UX/UI design, front-end development, and user-centered design principles. I completed my MSc in Computing (IT & Security) from the UK and have experience delivering impactful digital solutions across various sectors, including e-learning, healthcare, retail, and education.

My passion lies in designing intuitive and accessible user experiences using tools like Figma and Adobe XD. I have a strong collaborative spirit and a global outlook, which has allowed me to work on a diverse portfolio of freelance, academic, and corporate projects. I take pride in my ability to conduct user research and usability testing to ensure that my designs meet the needs of users effectively.
