What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role where I can lead design efforts, collaborate with cross-functional teams, mentor designers, and deliver research-driven products that improve user satisfaction and drive business growth.

I am a UI/UX and product designer with strong front-end development skills and a dedication to creating intuitive, visually appealing digital experiences. I blend user-centered design principles with practical implementation using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

My experience includes leading design teams and contributing as a consultant on large projects such as EMR and pharmaceutical systems, where I drove design decisions, testing and stakeholder alignment. I have built marketplace web apps, online wallets and responsive sites integrating newer technologies and SEO best practices.

I have a formal background in Information Systems & Technology and multiple certifications in web design, programming and ICDL, supporting a disciplined approach to research, prototyping and implementation. I collaborate closely with development teams to ensure designs are implemented accurately and effectively.

I am committed to hiring and mentoring designers, improving product outcomes through research-driven solutions, and delivering polished, business-focused user experiences that increase user satisfaction and support growth.
