Hey there, I'm
Luyolo Paliso a Web Dev a UI Designer

I am a Multimedia professional with 5 years industry experience. I specialize in User Interface Design, Web Development & Graphic Design.

I am highly competent in a wide variety of tools and technologies, however I strictly focus on Figma, Adobe XD, Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator.

For development purposes, I use technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript (React), Webflow, Wix & WordPress.

Having a background in development has really amplified my design skills. Not only can I conceptualize a design or interface from scratch, but I can also build it using code.
