UX/UI Design and Implementationselfkey.org & Kyc-chain.comAugust 2023- ongoing42 hrs/week
  • Designed and developed UX/UI solutions for a variety of digital products, including web platforms, results For instance, I worked on redesigning the homepage of an e-commerce site, resulting in a smoother navigation flow and a more visually appealing design
  • Conducted comprehensive user research and usability testing (including user interviews, surveys, and A/B testing) to identify pain points and gather actionable insights. This research led to the redesign of the registration flow for a website, reducing drop-off rates and improving completion rates.
  • Created wireframes, interactive prototypes, and high-fidelity designs using Figma, collaborating closely with developers and stakeholders to ensure designs were feasible and aligned with business goals. For example, I led the design of a new feature for a social media app, using Figma to prototype and iterate quickly, which allowed for faster feedback and quicker development cycles.
  • Led a cross-functional team of developers, product managers, and stakeholders, facilitating regular meetings to ensure alignment between design, functionality, and business goals. In one project, I successfully guided the team through multiple design iterations for an internal tool, which led to a more intuitive user interface that decreased training time.
  • Optimized UI components to enhance accessibility and user experience by following WCAG guidelines and conducting accessibility audits. For example, I improved the contrast and font sizes making it more accessible to users with visual impairments, and contributed to an increase in overall site accessibility scores.
