I’m a UX/UI and product designer based in Toronto, with a background in Interactive Media Design. I enjoy creating clean and user-friendly digital experiences that are easy to use and visually clear. I’ve worked on mobile and web projects, including app redesigns and UX case studies, where I focused on improving usability, layout, and overall user experience. I usually start with research, then move into wireframing and prototyping to build better solutions. I also have experience in digital content design, which helps me think about both visuals and communication together. I’m detail-oriented, easy to work with, and always focused on creating thoughtful and effective designs. Tools: Figma, Miro, Adobe Creative Suite
