About

A developer who thinks
like a designer.

I am a Multimedia professional specialising in UI Design, Web Development, and Graphic Design. With a foundation in both design and development, I approach every project with a dual perspective — crafting interfaces that are not only visually compelling, but technically sound.

My design toolkit centres on Figma, Adobe XD, Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator — paired with front-end development in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Webflow, Wix and WordPress.

Having a background in development has meaningfully sharpened my design instincts. I don't just conceptualise interfaces — I build them. That end-to-end capability allows me to make better design decisions earlier, reducing friction across the entire product lifecycle.
