About Me
Are you looking for someone who bridges the gap between Front-End Development and UI/UX Design? That's where I come in. With over 4 years of front-end development experience and 2 years of expertise in UI/UX design, I’ve had the opportunity to lead impactful projects, such as the website redesign for SHARP Dance Company and the modernization of WP Creative Pets.
By combining technical skills like JavaScript, React, and HTML/CSS with a deep understanding of Figma and design thinking methodologies, I create digital experiences that are both functional and user-focused. My work at Mindera involved creating and maintaining a comprehensive component library, ensuring consistency and reusability across digital assets. I’m also skilled in usability testing, wireframing, and user interviews, ensuring that user needs are at the heart of every project I take on.
I’m passionate about solving complex problems, collaborating across teams, and delivering clean, efficient solutions that make an impact. If you're searching for a Front-End Developer or UX Designer who brings both technical know-how and design intuition to the table, let’s connect and explore how I can help your business grow. Feel free to reach out if you're interested in discussing projects, collaborations, or exploring digital solutions together.
