Master's in Digital Media, working full time at MorelandConnect
I have finished my Master's in Digital Media at Drexel University, Philadelphia, and my undergraduate from the University of York. I want to adopt User-Centered Design to bring efficiency to people's lives, making apps and websites more fulfilling for them. I am proficient in design tools such as Figma, InVision studio, and the Adobe suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign). I also have experience in game development with Unity and I am adept at programming languages such as Python, Java, HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. Whenever I create or work on projects I like to do something meaningful and unique. For me, it is about creating a difference and having a positive impact on people through what I create. All my projects were meaningful with a relevant purpose. One of the reasons why I want to get into the field of UX is because of how it applies to gaming hence enhancing the experience. You can email me for my CV and examples of my work.

Projects

MorelandConnect Website redesign

I was tasked with redesigning our company website. The project took place over a few months and I used Figma to create high quality prototypes and implemented these changes myself in WordPress.See More

Working with the Philadelphia Consortium Museum

When I was at Drexel University my class had the privilege of being tasked with making an online platform for the Philadelphia Consortium Museum. I was the head of design for the project, this meant I needed to think about the presentation of the project, its themes and tone. Working with multi disciplinary teams we came up with an online platform on Spatial.IO. We used Miro to collaborate and make mood boards, highlight keywords and most importantly collaborate with different teams. The project was a success, the museum were extremely happy with the platform and were happy with what the students had delivered.See More
