UX / UI Designer

“Design is really an act of communication, which means having a deep understanding of the person with whom the designer is communicating.” -Don Norman

I am a UX /UI Designer from South Africa living in Gauteng.

I have a multidisciplinary skill set that combines creative knowledge with technical and business expertise. I strive to master the best and most current design tools and methods in the industry. Using human centred design thinking methods and an understanding and ability to solve problems I strive to work on projects that provide a voice for the user. I am a critical thinker with an open mind, a communicator and a facilitator that designs with intent.

As a user-centric designer, I enjoy solving problems and collaborating with team members on projects. As a user experience designer I am detail oriented and strive to create a better product for each user. My goal is to effectively create and communicate an appropriate design solution that meets both business and user needs.
