My expertise spans across UX/UI Design, Full-Cycle Design Process, Design Systems & Guidelines, Team Leadership, Startups and Entrepreneurship, UX Methods, User Research, Service Design, Interactive Design, Prototyping, and User Interviews. I'm proficient in a variety of design tools such as Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, InVision, Zeplin, UXPin, Illustrator, Photoshop, and After Effects. I'm passionate about creating user-friendly, accessible designs that improve people's interactions with digital products. I believe that good design can make a significant difference in people's lives, and I'm always excited to take on new challenges that allow me to make such an impact. Nice to meet you!
