What I'm looking for

I seek design roles where I can lead product interfaces, collaborate cross-functionally, mentor others, and build scalable, user-centered solutions with opportunities for impact and growth.

I am a creative and detail-oriented UI/UX designer with hands-on experience designing intuitive, user-centered digital interfaces and managing design projects from concept to completion.

I have designed multi-interface logistics platforms, e-commerce and mobile app prototypes, and built responsive dashboards while collaborating closely with developers to ensure design consistency and smooth implementation.

I founded a UI/UX training brand, developed a 10-week Figma course, mentored students on portfolio building, and continuously deliver practical, visually engaging products focused on usability and scalable UX.
