I am a Full stack developer turned UX/UI designer. My skills are (but not limited to): Research, Ideation, Prototyping, Usability testing, Empathy mapping, Creating user personas.

The tools I have developed range from Figma, Miro, Adobe XD to Trello. This coupled with my coding knowledge of React, Python, C#, Java have given me a fantastic learning environment. I am ready to put it all to work.

I love to learn. I am eager to grow. I have a lifetime of fine tuned interpersonal communication skills. I enjoy team engagement. I will always work harder, stay later and ask questions. Life is meant to be lived and work should be an invaluable and rewarding aspect of achieving that goal!
