My professional journey includes a pivotal role as a Product Designer at Elite Language Services, where I aligned design strategies with business objectives, enhancing user experience and ensuring 98% accessibility. I led Scrum ceremonies, streamlining the development process and achieving a 95% alignment with developer needs. Previously, as a UX Designer at No Country, I leveraged user research to craft user-centered interfaces, accelerating project phases by 50% and delivering adaptable MVPs. My expertise in creating wireframes, mockups, and prototypes using Figma has been instrumental in developing efficient, user-friendly platforms. I am committed to integrating user feedback and market trends to drive innovative design solutions.
