Quote mark

Humanity, creativity and purpose, transform companies and their relationships with the people they serve.

When organizations prioritize humanity, they embrace empathy, understanding and compassion in their interactions.

They go beyond transactional relationships and foster deeper emotional connections with their customers.

Let's create meaningful experiences and establish ourselves as forces for good in the world.

Questions I'm asked

I have an academic background in design and computer science and I've been working in the UI/UX industry for the past 10 years.

In all my roles I've designed successful products that have received industry recognition and are being used by millions of people.

I have a curated list of blogs and online communities which I follow and learn things from. I also attend design conferences and I'm also a member of a local design community.

I try to stay up-to-date with the latest trends by regularly watching YouTube videos so I can incorporate them in my designs and push the limit further.

Figma, Sketch, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, InDesign, Lookback, Maze, Calendly, MS Office, GSuite and anything else that might be needed.

A supportive and inclusive culture that values collaboration, creativity and personal growth.

I seek an environment that encourages open communication, where ideas are valued and diverse perspectives are embraced.

It is important to me to be part of a company that prioritizes user-centric design allowing designers to be productive, innovative and giving them the space to pursue excellence through iterations. I prefer companies which have a strong sense of purpose and work on meaningful projects that make a positive impact.

I believe in fostering strong collaboration with cross-functional teams by maintaining open lines of communication, actively listening to different perspectives and valuing the expertise and insights each team member brings to the table.

By establishing a shared understanding of project goals and requirements, I ensure that design decisions align with both user needs and technical feasibility.

Regular meetings, workshops and design reviews are key to fostering a collaborative environment where ideas can be openly discussed, refined, and implemented effectively.

Would love to hear from you
