About me.

UX/UI Designer

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.
