Hi! I’m Leonie — a passionate UI/UX Designer and Frontend Developer with 2 years of hands-on experience designing thoughtful, user-centered digital experiences. I specialize in creating intuitive interfaces that not only look great but are easy to use and built to solve real user problems. I completed a rigorous UI/UX Design bootcamp followed by a Frontend Development specialization, where I learned to bring my designs to life with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. My portfolio (designed and developed by myself) includes a variety of projects like a plant care app (Seedly), and a personal finance app (BANQ), and a recipe app (Cookly) — each designed with research-backed decisions, wireframes, prototypes, and usability testing. Before transitioning into tech, I worked in telemarketing, health/education, and recently started freelancing as a Remote AI Writing Evaluator at Outlier AI. These experiences gave me strong communication skills, empathy, and a research-driven mindset — all of which I bring into every design I create. What sets me apart? My hybrid skillset across design and development, my dedication to continuous learning, and my belief in designing for impact — whether it’s improving mental health, simplifying finances, or encouraging sustainability.

    uniE621 Seedly - Plant Care and eCommerce App
    Seedly is a native mobile application I designed for both iOS and Android to support gardening enthusiasts and plant caretakers in nurturing their plants. By offering expert knowledge and practical tips, Seedly helps users cultivate healthier plants and create the garden of their dreams. This project was a major milestone in my career, allowing me to work with both Apple Design Resources and Material Design—an area where I challenged myself to step out of my comfort zone. As a lifelong iOS user, adapting to Android design conventions broadened my expertise across platforms. Seedly exemplifies my commitment to high-quality, adaptable design and represents one of my most challenging and rewarding projects to date. uidesigner uxdesigner productdesign nativeapp graphicdesigner See project here: https://www.twine.net/signin

    BANQ is a responsive web app designed to help users efficiently save money through a seamless, intuitive interface. With a focus on trust, simplicity, and a forward-thinking design, BANQ delivers a personalized user experience that adapts to everyone's financial journey. In this project, I integrated AI to enhance user interactions by providing tailored recommendations and real-time insights to optimize saving habits. This approach not only created a personalized, futuristic experience but also addressed the needs of younger users through thorough research and testing. By merging cutting-edge AI with a user-centric design, I developed an intuitive platform that simplifies finance management while keeping it engaging. The result is an accessible, easy-to-use app that empowers users to take control of their finances, making saving both effective and enjoyable. uidesigner uxdesigner productdesign responsiveapp graphicdesigner design See project here: https://www.twine.net/signin

With a focus on simplicity and ease of use, Cookly empowers users to explore new recipes, manage their ingredients, and confidently navigate the cooking process. For this project, I focused on thorough user testing and catering to the specific needs of participants. I worked closely with users to gather valuable feedback, refining the interface and overall experience.
