About

Hi, I’m Ernest Jere — a UI/UX designer and frontend developer with over 10 years of experience translating precision print production into digital product design. I build scalable, component-based interfaces using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, React, and Figma, delivering pixel-perfect results with a strong eye for detail.

My background in prepress and publishing informs my approach to design systems, accessibility, and quality control. I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams to turn complex requirements into intuitive experiences, while continuously refining processes and workflows.
