Hi, I’m Saj Louinder, a UX/UI designer and full-stack developer who turns detailed scripts, storyboards and specifications into engaging, interactive digital experiences. I design and build end-to-end solutions—from branching, decision-driven flows and rewards-based engagement mechanics to responsive, accessible interfaces—working closely with subject-matter experts to bring their vision to life. I’ve shipped digital products that real users adopt and return to, including a discovery-and-rewards platform recognised by the NSW Government as highly innovative and creative, and an internal engagement platform with 5,000+ active users. I work fluently in React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js and Python, pick up new platforms quickly (Power Platform, Copilot Studio and similar gamified tools), and care deeply about inclusive design. I can work independently or collaborate remotely on focused engagements.
