About

I have over 1.5 years of product design experience, specializing in creating exceptional user experiences. My proficiency in Figma is demonstrated through designing responsive high-fidelity mockups and building a design system compatible with Tailwind CSS, streamlining development and design delivery. I've worked on both iOS and Android mobile applications, as well as web applications, focusing on minimal, user-centered designs. I also excel in collaborating with users and stakeholders to integrate new features, develop user flows, and conducting usability testing to optimize experiences. My curiosity, and the need to always go out of my way to meet and experience the user's problems first hand ensures user centered design.
