Professional Journey & Achievements
I embarked on my professional journey as a graphic designer in marketing agencies before venturing into entrepreneurship. I founded my own business, a sign company specializing in Marketing, Branding and Commercial signs.
In 2014, I took a pivotal step into the realm of web design, initiating my journey by designing and developing websites primarily using WordPress. Subsequently, in 2019, I returned to academia and enrolled in the Interactive Media Design program at Algonquin College in Ottawa, Canada. This educational stint significantly enhanced my proficiency in website and web application development, encompassing HTML, CSS, PHP, and Javascript.
Beyond technical skills, my deep dive into the Human-Centered Design field has become a passion. The iterative process has seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. It’s an inspiring and integral aspect of my work.
Notably, I have accumulated substantial experience as a UI/UX Designer, contributing to diverse projects and web applications. This additional expertise allows me to bring a holistic and user-focused approach to my design endeavours. Exciting, isn’t it?
