What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can blend storytelling, digital marketing and UI/UX to promote renewable energy, collaborate cross-functionally, and grow in product design and impact-driven campaigns.

I am a creative and dynamic content creator and digital marketer with UI/UX design training and a Bachelor of Computer Science. I combine storytelling, multimedia production, and data-driven marketing to boost brand visibility and customer engagement.

In sales and marketing roles I developed content strategies, managed CRM systems, trained teams, and produced multimedia assets using tools like Adobe Premiere, CapCut, Adobe XD, Figma, and InVision. I have hands-on experience tailoring campaigns for social platforms and optimizing performance through analytics.

I am passionate about promoting sustainable practices and renewable energy and am seeking to apply my skills to drive awareness and adoption of solar solutions while continuing to grow as a product designer and digital strategist.
