ABOUT –
ABOUT –

As a Senior UX/UI Designer with 5+ years of experience, I'm a creative digital marketing professional with a passion for designing delightful digital products and delivering effortless user experiences. I enjoy taking concepts from ideation to release, and gathering user feedback to continually refine and improve my designs.

When I'm not obsessing over design, you can find me playing music, skiing, bingeing on Netflix, and staying up-to-date on the latest design trends and best practices.

For me, the best part of being a designer is taking an idea from concept to release and then gathering user feedback. It's always exciting to see how people use and interact with what I've created, and I love using their insights to continuously improve my designs.

I believe that user experience and branding are integral elements of design. As a human-centered designer, I value storytelling and enjoy exploring new ways that brands can connect with people. I strive to create designs that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also functional and intuitive. I am constantly gathering inspiration and searching for innovative ideas that I can apply to my work.

With my skills and experience, I'm excited to continue contributing to the success of IBM by leveraging my expertise to enhance their user experience and branding efforts.

Experience

IBM

Senior UX/UI Designer

Jun 2022 - Present

I was responsible for conducting UI/UX adjustments based on user and project feedback to support project team delivery. To effectively communicate interaction and design ideas, I created wireframes, storyboards, user flows, process flows, and site maps. As part of my role, I designed graphic user interface elements such as menus, tabs, and widgets. I also developed UI mock-ups and prototypes to illustrate how applications and websites functioned and looked. In addition, I created original graphic designs, including images, sketches, tables, and logos. I identified and troubleshooted UX problems such as responsiveness and adhered to style standards on fonts, colors, and images. My contributions helped to improve the user experience of the company's digital products and elevate their brand image.
