About

I’m Rex, a creative graphic designer and social media manager with 7+ years of experience crafting impactful visual design and user-focused experiences. I’ve led end-to-end UX work—from user research and wireframing to prototyping, testing, and developer handoff—while also managing branding, illustration, and UI/visual design across multiple client and product projects.

I enjoy turning complex problems into clean, intuitive interfaces and consistent design systems, and I’m passionate about improving engagement and outcomes through research-led iteration. Whether I’m designing a scalable Figma system, redesigning a website to boost sign-ups, or building campaign assets that grow visibility, I bring a collaborative, detail-oriented approach that helps ideas ship successfully.
