Web Design Technical Writing Adobe Creative Cloud

A UX Designer with almost a decade of working experience in tools such as Adobe Creative Cloud and Figma, I strive to combine my passion for art and aesthetics with the talent to iterate and optimize in time, helping businesses align with their visions of brand identity and reach new heights.

Currently, at Paze:

  • As design lead for a website trafficking thousands of users, I develop both low and high fidelity prototypes using Figma while championing intuitive, approachable design prioritizing seamless User Experience.

  • Boasting an average score of 92 across the product for the past year, I lead the charge advocating for American Disability Act (ADA) Compliance with intentions to optimize the experience for all users, no matter their limitations.

  • From conceptualization to development, I created a design system to bring an internal tool to life alongside engineers, using forward-thinking design to promote scalability and intuitive user experience across multiple teams.

  • As the specialist on the team for Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and Premiere, I create comprehensive visuals, marketing assets, and delightful animations for company needs both in the product and for various workshops and showcases.

Where I’ve been

  • With a strong background in Web Design and an affinity for UX/UI, I’ve built a repertoire of projects over the course of the last 9 years that focus on creating intuitive, concise web pages for concepts like DeFi, web3, and applied science research.

  • A writer from a young age, I am passionate about conveying highly technical concepts in an approachable and articulate way. I have worked to form a bridge for individuals to reach their aspirations using the tools of technology, whether within the crypto space or otherwise.

  • Specializing in Adobe Creative Cloud, I like to spend time editing videos and creating animations using Premiere and After Effects. Within Photoshop and Illustrator, I am capable of creating engaging, informative graphics that help elevate a narrative and illustrate key points with a readable, clear visual.
