My love language is travel. Whether with friends, family or solo, I love to expand my reach a little more on each trip, while staying at the perfect place and letting the vibes flow. My daily itineraries vary from food-based to arts-based, or a mix of both if I can. Travel changes us and it's always for the better. Let’s plan your travel together



UX/UI design is where strategy meets aesthetics to create seamless digital experiences. It balances functionality with visual appeal, ensuring users can interact with products intuitively and efficiently. I utilize UX/UI as follows:
-
Wireframes: Developing blueprints to outline structure and layout
UX Prototypes: Creating interactive mockups to test usability before development
User Testing: Conducting real-world evaluations to refine the experience
-
Visual Design: Crafting appealing, branded aesthetics that enhance user interactions
Interaction Design: Ensuring smooth and engaging interactions between users and digital interfaces
Responsive Design: Adapting experiences for various screen sizes and devices
