## About

```text
I am a dedicated Senior UX Designer with over 8 years of experience specializing in Motion and Interaction Design. My journey has been driven by a passion for creating intuitive, user-centered interfaces that enhance user satisfaction. I have successfully led feature development teams, collaborating with cross-functional groups to deliver engaging digital experiences.

At Equity Group, I was promoted to Senior UX Designer, where I played a pivotal role in the design and development of the Equity Mobile app. My responsibilities included creating prototypes, conducting user testing, and implementing design solutions that minimized cognitive overload. My work has resulted in over 22 features currently in production, showcasing my ability to translate business requirements into effective design.

As a self-taught animator, I have developed a keen eye for motion graphics, which I leverage to create visually stunning content. I am eager to continue pushing the boundaries of design, utilizing my critical thinking and collaboration skills to contribute to innovative projects that prioritize user experience.
