What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow in a product team where I can use user research, wireframes, and prototyping to deliver accessible, user-centered UI. I want close collaboration with developers to ship features from concept to launch, with room to iterate from feedback.

I’m a UI/UX Designer with years of experience creating engaging, user-friendly digital experiences in web and mobile applications. My focus is user-centered design—turning research into wireframes, prototypes, and visual systems that improve usability and accessibility.

At BE, C1 Biltong bliss, I led a comprehensive UI redesign for a prominent title and helped develop thorough design systems in Figma, significantly reducing design handover time. I also ran design workshops to improve cross-team collaboration, partnered closely with developers to ensure smooth implementation, and addressed user feedback to support successful feature launches.

Earlier, as a Junior UI/UX web designer at IMPEX TECHNOLOGY, I coordinated user research and created audience personas to identify key user requirements. I handled information architecture and site maps for a website overhaul, built mobile and web wireframes, and delivered UX solutions grounded in usability testing and iterative improvement.

Beyond design, my background includes cybersecurity work where I led efforts to mitigate malware threats, implemented ad blockers, and established automatic update protocols. I combine this mindset with my UI/UX training—aiming to build intuitive, aesthetically pleasing, and secure digital products.
