What I'm looking for

I’m looking for new opportunities to collaborate on exciting projects where I can build responsive, intuitive UI/UX and frontend experiences, align designs with implementation, and create work grounded in user needs and strong storytelling.

I’m a passionate web designer and Senior UI/UX professional who turns ideas into visually appealing, user-friendly digital experiences. I focus on building responsive, intuitive websites while deeply understanding user needs and preferences. I also bring storytelling into projects to create emotional connection and increase engagement.

In my recent freelance and enterprise work, I designed and implemented user-friendly interfaces for ERP systems and educational platforms, improving navigation efficiency and user satisfaction. I built design systems to maintain consistency across modules, created a student mobile application with features like college notices, exam schedules, leave requests, bus tracking, and attendance tracking, and led the design of a digital archive system for governmental documents to reduce retrieval time. I also standardized university admission forms and spearheaded a comprehensive LMS portal with centralized access to lectures, live exams, quizzes, one-on-one Q&A, discussion forums, e-books, and lecture notes.

I also enjoy teaching and mentoring—at Broadway Infosys Nepal, I instructed over 100 students on UI/UX design concepts, processes, research, testing, and documentation. I trained students to develop intuitive, engaging digital products, and emphasized human-centered design approaches that improved student project ratings for user satisfaction and usability. My goal is to help learners produce work that performs well for real users.

Across my UI/UX + frontend roles, I collaborate closely with developers to align Figma designs with outcomes and support implementation with frameworks such as Angular, Laravel, and .NET. I work confidently with React.js and frontend development, and I’ve used platforms like WordPress plus frameworks such as Next.js and Chakra UI to build scalable, visually appealing interfaces. From prototyping and iterating based on feedback to refining component and design systems, I bring both technical execution and strong design principles to every project.
