About

As a UX/UI Designer, I have a keen interest in the psychology behind design. Through user research, prototyping, and UI design, I create intuitive designs that solve complex problems and enhance the user experience. I'm always looking for new ways to learn and seeking out inspiration to bring to my designs.
