Available to hire
I’m a UX/UI designer with a civil engineering background and 8+ years of analytical problem-solving in water resources and cross-functional project delivery. I excel at user research, wireframing, prototyping, and data-driven iteration.
I’m known for clear communication, structured thinking, and creating polished, accessible interfaces. I’m seeking a UX or product design role where technical rigor meets human-centered design.
