professional summary

Great design starts with understanding people. As a UX/Product Designer with a Psychology background, I study how users perceive, decide, and behave, then design accessible, user-centered experiences that make those moments feel effortless. I create user flows, wireframes, interactive prototypes, and high-fidelity designs in Figma, shaped by user research, usability testing, and feedback, and I work closely with cross-functional partners to balance user needs with business goals. Experienced in design systems, WCAG accessibility, and AI-assisted design.
