About Me

I am Sisanda Madiya, a User Experience (UX) designer with a certificate i acquired from the University of Cape Town  and 1 year of working experience in UX design. I also have a User Interface design certificate from Udemy focusing using FIGMA to complete various stages of the UX design process.  My experience in UXD has so far consisted of volunteer projects and design challenges.

I would love to volunteer in tech projects to not only challenge and improve my skills, but also to contribute to an excellent team of designers and build great digital products. I have particularly strong skills in user research, competitive analysis, wireframing, visual planning, and usability testing.

I have developed a portfolio of UX design challenges that display my skills and knowledge. Please follow this link: https://www.behance.net/sisandamadiya

I am looking forward to communicating with your team about your needs and how my skills can contribute to building a fantastic and competitive product for you.
