A UX Designer on a journey to create delightful simple interfaces and interactions that empower users to engage more effectively. I am very curious and interested in new ways to improve how computers and users interact through Design Thinking process.
User Research
During my design projects, I conduct multiple user research methods to develop empathy for the users/people that I design for. I develop insights into the problem I try to solve by conducting interviews, creating personas and decision mapping. Following brainstorming and ideation, I come up with the ideas and created wireframes and interactive prototypes, which I test with real people to make sure I build user centered design solutions.
In design projects I apply a broad range of techniques and skills:
- Design Thinking Process
- User Interviews
- Proto/User Personas
- Ideation/Brainstorming Techniques
- Feature Prioritization
- Storyboarding
- User Journey Map
- User Flow Creation
- UX Wireframing
- UX Low Fidelity Prototyping
- iOS Design Guidelines
- Usability Testing
User Interface Design
I work on user interface design based on universal and inclusive design, accessibility and usability such that my designs are valuable to as many of users as possible. I have in-depth and professional level experience in Figma, Whimsical, Miro. I develop moodboards, mockups and style guides. I apply atomic design principles and connect dots to big picture concepts like responsive web design. I also apply interaction design to bring life to my visual interfaces.
In design projects I apply a broad range of techniques and skills:
- UI Analysis
- Gestalt Principles
- Visual Design elements
- Information Architecture
- Site Maps & Navigation
- Heuristic Evaluation
- Universal Design
- Accessibility
- Color Theory
- Typography
- UI Style Guides
- Atomic Design + UI system design
- Responsive Website Design
- High fidelity UI prototyping
Web Development
I have some html/css basics to rapidly prototype my designs and pass them up to developers. I am far from an expert in web development, however, I believe I have enough knowledge to understand the web development process and debug structural and style issues that may come up in final product. I have acquired a bit of javascript/jquery experience during the bootcamp to understand what is technically possible when it comes to making my designs come alive.
In development I apply a broad range of techniques and skills:
- HTML 5
- CSS 3
- JavaScript Basics
- Bootstrap
- jQuery Basics
- Git/GItHub
- Front end prototyping
- Web Analytics
- A/B testing
Design Portfolio
I have a comprehensive portfolio of projects ranging from sketches to mobile-responsive web layouts, individually and in teams.
I successfully completed UC Berkeley UX/UI Bootcamp program and obtained my certificate. I am ready to apply skills acquired during this hands-on training in UX/UI design methodology, user-centric design research, design thinking, visual prototyping and wireframing, interface design, storyboarding, visual design theory.
Effective Collaboration
I collaborate actively as part of larger teams, and always excited about the opportunity to work with other team members.
I thrive in an environment where teamwork is emphasized and mutual understanding and respect are shared. I would like to be in an environment where I can learn and grow from my peers and contribute to the team with skillset I offer.
