  As a UX designer for Beyond Self, I was responsible for the end-to-end design process, ensuring a seamless experience for both therapists and users. I conducted user research to understand pain points, designed wireframes and prototypes and iterated based on feedback to improve usability. My focus was on creating an intuitive onboarding flow, optimizing therapist discovery, and ensuring a smooth booking process. By prioritizing accessibility and user needs, I helped shape a platform that makes mental health support more accessible and user-friendly.
