UX Designer

My strong desire to assist individuals in problem-solving led me to pursue UX Design. Through GA's UX Design Immersive course, I acquired skills in surveys, usability testing, wireframing, and prototypes to understand customer pain points. Working with Figma, I enjoyed exploring diverse methodologies for designing websites and apps. As a UX designer, I excel in collaboration, attentive listening, trustworthiness, and diligent work. My passion for healthcare fuels my aspiration to combine my UX skills with the goal of helping others.
