Product Design Lead | UX/UI Specialist
Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Technology in Graphic Communications Management at Toronto Metropolitan University, expected to graduate in 2024, I have developed a robust foundation in design and technology. As the Product Design Lead at Effinity, I lead a team in creating a gamified financial literacy MVP, enhancing productivity through design sprints and ensuring a seamless user experience. Previously, as a UX Designer at Noble Corporation, I collaborated with cross-functional teams to align design with business goals, reducing post-launch bugs through effective UAT. My experience as a Copywriting Intern at Canyon Entertainment Group honed my skills in SEO and brand voice development. Additionally, I contributed to a comprehensive website redesign at FANIQUE, showcasing my UX/UI design capabilities. My diverse background, including a stint as a Barista at CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice, reflects my adaptability and commitment to delivering quality in various roles.
