Junior UX/UI Designer & Researcher

Designed to work.
Built to mean it.

I design experiences rooted in real human behavior — research-led, detail-obsessed, and built with the kind of care that makes products feel inevitable. Looking for my first role where design actually matters.

About me

Available for work

Designed to
stand out.

I'm a junior UX/UI designer and researcher who leads with curiosity and lands on clarity. I've spent the past year building a foundation in end-to-end design — from research and personas through to high-fidelity prototypes — and I'm ready to bring that to a team.

I'm drawn to structure the way I'm drawn to architecture — there's beauty in a grid that holds together. But I'm equally obsessed with personality, bold color, and the kind of craft that makes people feel something.

I'm at the start of my career and I know it. What I bring is hunger, a sharp eye, and work that already shows I think in systems — not just screens.

Documenting structure, light, and the way designed spaces make you feel.

Exploring ambient light, texture, and spatial composition.
