Organizations that prioritize humanity cultivate deeper emotional connections with customers.
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 attend design conferences and I'm 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.
Mainly Figma & Illustrator. Lookback, Dovetail & Maze for user research, Photoshop, Premiere & After Effects occasionally, GitHub or GitLab when prototyping with HTML and anything else in between that might be needed.
My favourite IDE is Sublime but I ocassionaly use VSCodium to test out cool AI plugins.
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
