As a self-professed geek, I am always up for a challenge, not only in UX/UI but anything related to technologies and the creative field. I am outspoken and passionate about what I do. Being a versatile designer, I am looking to bring all my skills together and take on a product design role, working towards better digital services in the public and private sectors.

I've been working in the creative industry for over six years.

 

My experience as a creative told me how to work fast and deliver within project deadlines. I collaborated with different teams for established brands by following strict guidelines. Being fast-paced and quite stressful at times work environment, I've learned how to take criticism and work under pressure. Funny enough, that is when creatives are most productive.

 
 

Graphic and Spatial Design graduate at UAL.

 

In 2012, I came to London to study graphic and spatial design at UAL. The course was a mixture of visual communication for print and digital and spatial design. The university allowed me to develop and express my creative ideas by being part of a community of inspirational individuals.

My Visual Toolbox:

  • Figma

  • ProtoPie

  • Photoshop

  • After Effects

  • Illustrator

 

Adding new tools to my skill set helps me express creative ideas and deliver successful projects. For me, improvement is a constant upward journey. We don't concentrate on the tool itself, but we need to be proficient in our craft and adapt to the ever-changing trends in design. I'm learning something new every day.

 
 

UX/UI Toolbox:

  • UX Research

  • Information architecture

  • Site Maps

  • Wireframes & Mockups

  • Customer journeys & User Flows

  • Interactive prototypes

 

Through my experience on recent projects, I've discovered we always need to trust the UX process. We have to adapt our workflow accordingly to each project but building the knowledge to develop helpful digital solutions is paramount to our success. I quite enjoy getting to know people. By gaining insights into their needs and struggles, I can design a better user experience.
