Project Manager transitioning into UI/UX design, building user-centered digital products through Agile leadership.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Project Manager with 8+ years of experience managing projects, product development, and cross-functional team coordination. I’ve led end-to-end delivery by managing scope, timelines, budgets, and stakeholder expectations while implementing Agile methodologies and Scrum practices.
Before moving fully toward digital products, I worked as a Product Engineer and Structural Engineer, strengthening my technical project leadership, quality mindset, and validation/QA discipline. I also mentored team members and contributed to process improvements while aligning requirements with product specifications.
Today, I’m transitioning into UI/UX design with specialized training in Figma and User Experience Design. I’m excited to bring my project management strengths and user-centered design approach to create wireframes, prototypes, and design system-aligned experiences.
