About

My skills include crafting user-centric designs, developing intuitive interfaces, and enhancing user experiences through clear and effective content. I excel at using research to inform and improve user experience design decisions, prioritizing usability and accessibility in all aspects of design, while also staying attuned to emerging trends and constantly seeking innovative solutions to enhance the user journey.



In addition to my design expertise, I have strong knowledge in HTML, CSS, Basic JavaScript and C++. This not only enhances my design skills but also helps me create usable designs, collaborate effectively with developers, and streamline design hand-offs.
