Product Designer at Reworth.

About me

As a UX UI designer, I have experience working in startups, applying agile methodologies and collaborating closely with development and business teams. I prioritize a data-driven approach to the decision-making process, and measuring success. My focus is on understanding business and technology requirements, setting UX goals, and creating intuitive and enjoyable experiences. With a strong user-centric approach and keeping in mind the design, technology, and business , I am eager to contribute value to the industry.
