A teacher turned designer, I bring a unique blend of educational and design skills to my work. My time in the classroom honed my abilities in communication, collaboration, time management, and problem-solving, making me a valuable team player in any design environment. These soft skills, combined with my passion for creating accessible and user-friendly designs, have defined my journey from education to design. At Viu, I leveraged these strengths to craft comprehensive design systems, ensuring visual consistency and accessibility across platforms with millions of active users.

Early on, I took on higher-level responsibilities, from developing a foundational design system to redesigning core features of the app. This role allowed me to create detailed design guidelines, typography, color styles, and responsive components. Each project expanded my expertise and deepened my understanding of user-centered design. That being said, I am eager to join a team where I can continue to learn, grow, and be mentored by industry leaders, while contributing my unique perspective and skills to innovative design solutions.
