What I'm looking for

I’m looking to join a cross-functional product team where I can own research-to-handoff UX/UI work, validate decisions with user data, and build scalable design systems—while collaborating closely with engineers to deliver developer-ready prototypes.

I’m a UI/UX Designer who pairs a Physics degree with self-driven mastery of Figma. I turn ambiguous problems into elegant, user-focused digital experiences built for real people.

I own the complete design lifecycle—research, wireframing, prototyping, and developer handoff. Using an analytical mindset, I validate decisions against real user data, and I build scalable design systems while communicating clearly with clients and cross-functional teams.

As a freelance UI/UX & Product Designer (2025 to Present), I create end-to-end web and mobile designs in Figma, from initial wireframes to polished, developer-ready prototypes. I run discovery through iterative reviews and feedback integration, grounding work in user research and competitive analysis, and delivering annotated prototypes, specs, and stakeholder-ready presentations. Before this, I strengthened my communication and audience-focused skills as a Graduate Teaching Instructor (NYSC) and built user empathy through frontline customer support as a Phone Repair & Maintenance Intern.
