About

UI/UX Designer · SaaS & Dashboard Specialist · Remote‑Freelance · Ex‑Software Engineer · Gold‑Medalist · Google Certified UX Designer

I’m Maria Kashif — a remote freelance UI/UX Designer with a unique edge: I started my career as a Software Engineer, graduated as a gold‑medalist in my Bachelor’s degree, and completed the Google UX Design Certification. Over the past 3+ years I’ve specialised in SaaS platforms, admin dashboards, mobile apps, and web products — helping startups and non‑profits translate complex workflows into intuitive interfaces.

My technical foundation means I speak both design & dev languages, and I leverage design systems, accessible UI components, and user‑centred research to drive measurable results. Whether I’m collaborating with remote teams or singlehandedly delivering a full UX audit, I bring clarity, efficiency and visual polish.

I’m available globally for freelance/contract work and committed to transforming workflows into delightful user experiences. Let’s talk if you want a designer who combines code‑thinking with human‑centered design.
