What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values creativity and user-centered design.

As a dedicated UI/UX designer, I thrive on creating engaging and user-centered digital experiences. My academic background in psychology, combined with a minor in User Experience Design from DePaul University, has equipped me with a unique perspective on user behavior and design principles. I have successfully collaborated with interdisciplinary teams to design innovative solutions, such as a digital storytelling kiosk aimed at improving children's mental health.

My hands-on experience includes designing responsive wireframes and interactive prototypes for various platforms using tools like Figma, Adobe XD, and Illustrator. I take pride in my ability to conduct thorough user research and usability testing, which informs my design decisions and enhances the overall user experience. My commitment to clean UI and effective navigation is evident in my projects, where I focus on delivering high-fidelity prototypes that resonate with users.
