About Me

As an ambitious and educated UX candidate, I possess a diverse skill set that enables me to create intuitive and engaging learning experiences for digital platforms. Proficient in Figma, I excel at crafting wireframes and prototypes to design interactive learning modules. My user research abilities help me understand learners’ needs, while usability testing ensures the effectiveness of my designs.

Collaborating with stakeholders and implementing agile methodologies using Jira and Confluence, I deliver good results. My clear communication, adaptable nature, and listening skills foster effective teamwork and leadership. Additionally, I have a strong organizational prowess, adeptly managing projects and prioritizing tasks to meet deadlines.

My work experiences as a Content and Engagement Team Leader and UI & UX Design Assistant have honed my Adobe InDesign skills, and my previous roles as a Teacher of English developed my presentation and teaching abilities.

With a BSc in Innovation, Interaction Design and User Experience from The Open University, I am dedicated to continuous learning and have completed courses in content marketing strategy and teaching English to speakers of other languages.

I am available immediately and ready to contribute my expertise to new challenges in the UX and UI job market. Let’s connect and explore how my skills can benefit your team.

Thank you and see you soon!

Awards

Best Research Award 2013
My contribution to SABMiller’s equity research was to accomplish a SWOT analysis followed by market examination. What is more, I had an opportunity to build on degree course knowledge and enhance my analytical skills, and research data to develop concepts. Eventually, the first semester was completed with a presentation in front of a club’s committee. My group’s equity report on SABMiller Plc was announced as the best report since the establishment of the Club in 1997.
