My Story
💜 I'm a UX/UI Designer with a master's in Interaction, UI/UX Design from the Academy of Art University, San Francisco. I'm passionate about solving problems and bridging the gap between user needs and business strategy.
💡 I can do creative product design through research, graphic design, branding, motion graphics, and illustrations. I can use tools such as Figma, Sketch, InVison, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and After Effects to show the design process with wireframes, flow diagrams, storyboards, mockups, high fidelity prototypes, and even motion videos.
⌨️ Also, I designed and implemented a multi-page interactive website with rich visual elements, using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL.
✨ I’m ready for new challenges and seeking new adventures. I sincerely look forward to speaking with you about finding my next team.
Design Philosophy
I am a critical thinker who wants to create innovative designs.
I believe in the power of storytelling.
“Speak the user’s language or be consistent” — Steve Krug
I design self-evident, usable, useful, efficient, delightful, and memorable websites or mobile apps.
