My tenure at Razorfish saw me designing various deliverables for Samsung, maintaining their design system, and contributing to successful marketing campaigns. During my internship at Viacom, I consolidated MTV apps and updated UI components for Xbox One. At DDB Health New York, I collaborated on mood boards and pitch decks for pharmaceutical clients, ensuring optimal functionality and user experience. My passion for design and technology, coupled with my hands-on experience, drives my commitment to delivering innovative and user-centric solutions.
