I'm a creative and detail-oriented designer with a passion for bringing ideas to life through visuals. I am skilled in design software like Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, and I love experimenting with layout, color, and typography. I'm always eager to push creative boundaries and craft engaging designs. During my UX/UI internship at Kooba, I assisted on projects for clients across entertainment, beauty, electrical, healthcare, and semi-state sectors. I became proficient in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, ChatGPT, and Google Fonts for generating drafts and mockups, and gained exposure to client interactions, learning both agency and client perspectives on interactive design projects.
