Strategic UX/UI designer focused on optimizing digital workflows and generating innovative solutions. In addition to prototyping, user research, workflow analysis, and creating engaging and intuitive interfaces, I still have a passion for aesthetics but not at the expense of functionality. It has been my privilege to work with clients in different industries, such as healthcare, not-for-profits, and education, to improve the digital products and services they provide to their customers. It has always been my passion to design and create strategic roadmaps that meet the needs of users as well as business goals.

I enjoy exploring new designs, collaborating with the developers, experimenting with new ideas, and at times returning to the solid ideas that have proven to increase productivity without sacrificing the quality of work. The beginning of my career was as a graphic designer working on branding, marketing and large print projects for the print industry. In addition to learning HTML and CSS, I started building websites along with studying advertising and branding at the Academy of Art. As a product creator and ideator, I have again been involved in more product creation and ideation work.

There are numerous design tools that I am familiar with including Sketch, Figma, InVision, Zeplin and Framer, as well as development tools such as React, Nextjs, and Webflow. My education began with a bachelor's of arts in communication studies, but I started my studies in engineering to learn about the use of autocad as well as drafting product design. Participated in multiple design thinking workshops with team members, spoke at community events, and won several awards with my team;
