About

A seasoned UX/UI Designer with a rich background in creating intuitive and engaging digital experiences, currently contributing to Worksphere. At Worksphere, I design B2B websites for AI-powered construction companies, focusing on UI consistency, user engagement, and satisfaction. My role involves translating user research into actionable design solutions, developing wireframes and prototypes, and iterating designs based on user feedback and industry best practices. Previously, I redesigned a B2C SaaS music-sharing website at iCheckMusic, enhancing user engagement and usability through competitive analysis, heuristic evaluation, and the implementation of a cohesive style guide. My career began as a Freelance Illustrator, creating custom visual content, followed by roles as a Home Health Aide at Caring Professionals, Inc., and a Catering Chef at Plant Rebel. My diverse experience underscores a commitment to user-centered design, empathy, and continuous learning in the evolving UX/UI field.
