About

Myself

I am a self-taught UI | UX Designer who is passionate about designing digital experiences that leave a positive impact on people, the environment, and society. Shortly after I finished school, I decided to move into design. Since then, I've been developing my skills in UX and visual design. During the past 4-5 years working in various industries such as real estate, SaaS, and the technology space, I have strengthened my skills in various challenges involving user experience and visual design. My strategic approach has been instrumental in making a difference in how people use applications; both inclusive and usable design.

To me, design is a problem-solving activity. As a designer, I understand that the perfect design not only involves visual aesthetics but even more importantly, an interface that functions well. This requires a deep understanding of human behavior and psychology - the outcome of which greatly impacts the overall experience of the product, regardless of the platform.

I enjoy working on projects that require both strategies as well as visual aesthetics. From ideation to the final pixel-perfect design, I love problem-solving and contributing to the overall visual design and user experience.

Currently at Thrive, designing things that help end the stress and burnout epidemic for companies.
