As a UI/UX Designer my work is aesthetically pleasing, and also highly functional and user-centric. My designs are also deeply influenced by my parallel career as an expressionist painter; my talents as an artist drive my ability to empathize with users' needs and marry them with business goals. With a background in SAAS and B2B projects, I have honed my skills in Figma, iconography and typography, competitive analysis, user interviews, wireframing, usability testing, and responsive interface design for both websites and mobile applications. This ensures that each design element I create enhances the user's journey and meets business objectives. Through close collaboration with technical teams and stakeholders, I guide the enhancement of usability, and troubleshoot UI/UX problems.
