    paper UX UI Designer

    I participated in a remote group project to create a brand-focused e-commerce website where I took the role of a UX designer. I translated the information architecture research findings into effective design solutions and focused on building a brand identity to create a modern, user-centred UI design. The project duration was 3 months only and the time for research and design was only 4 weeks. Although the time was short and the work load was high, I was able to not just manage the design process but also implement new techniques and learn new methods that enhance the design and development process such as creating design systems. This project proved that I can work, collaborate, and contribute under pressure and with a diverse remote team.
