UX/UI Project Manager

I’m a UX/UI Designer, Researcher, and Strategist with a passion for creating intuitive, user-centered digital experiences. I bring a blend of curiosity and strategy to every project I tackle. My goal is to craft seamless interactions and advanced design solutions for high-end users in fields like science, aerospace, health, education, and research—industries that inspire me to keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible in technology.

I’m deeply drawn to challenges involving data visualization and complex UX flows, especially where strategy and critical thinking are essential to getting a feature just right across multiple touchpoints. The part I love most about UX/UI is the opportunity to make technology feel approachable and impactful for users who rely on it in specialized fields.

Outside of my work life, I find joy in rock climbing, acroyoga, and creating art, alongside a recent hobby in video game design and sprite creation. Each of these interests influences my design thinking, sparking ideas for innovative interactions and layouts that blend functionality with creativity.

My Current Work

Mobile App Redesign for Serket Tech

HIGHLIGHTED PROJECT

The Serket Mobile App Case Study highlights how user needs and behaviors shaped the redesign of an AI-driven platform for agriculture professionals. Through research, I identified challenges like managing farm data on-the-go and the need for streamlined workflows. By applying Google Material Design principles, I restructured the app's interface to reduce complexity and enhance usability, enabling quick data entry, real-time monitoring, and task prioritization. Collaborating with developers, I ensured the AI's functionality aligned with users' behavioral patterns, empowering them to make critical farming decisions more efficiently.
