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 continue to grow professionally.

As a dedicated UI/UX Designer with over a year of experience, I specialize in crafting digital interfaces that marry aesthetics with user-focused design principles. My strong command of Adobe Creative Suite and Figma has allowed me to create intuitive and effective user experiences, as evidenced by my significant portfolio.

In my role as an Associate UI/UX Designer at Parallax Technologies, I utilized Figma to design user flows and visual designs for new features. I conducted user research and developed prototypes to enhance user experiences, analyzing feedback to iterate and improve design solutions. My journey began as a Trainee UI/UX Designer, where I led the design of web and mobile applications from concept to launch, collaborating with senior designers for mentorship.

My educational background in Computer Software Engineering from Kingston University, combined with my freelance graphic design work, has equipped me with a diverse skill set. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, always eager to expand my expertise in the field.
