South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I am a UX/UI and Product Designer with hands-on experience across user research, interaction design, accessibility, and rapid prototyping. I translate complex problems into clear, intuitive digital experiences and build polished UI systems that scale.
My work spans end-to-end design — from problem discovery, user interviews and usability testing to wireframes, prototypes and visual design. I have successfully designed websites and app experiences for small businesses and startups, improving usability, accessibility and brand consistency.
I bring strong communication, stakeholder collaboration, and a user-first mindset, and I seek opportunities to contribute to product strategy, design systems and impactful feature development.
