Good evening to you!

Case Study: Redesigning the website for ‘The Intersectional Feminist’

The Intersectional Feminist

Collaborating with a friend, I recently led the redesign and development if the IF magazine website. Working alongside a talented architect-turned-designer, I leveraged my interdisciplinary skills to bridge the gap between design and development and create a seamless user experience. Throughout the project, I utilized my expertise in both design and development to ensure that the website was not only visually stunning but also highly functional and user-friendly. By reducing the friction between the two disciplines, I was able to create a more efficient and streamlined development process. The opportunity to work on this project was incredibly rewarding, and I'm proud of the impact that our team was able to make.

100 Days of Growth: My Journey of Improving UI Skills Through a Daily Challenge

Dribbble

ui design

daily challenge

When I started the 100-day UI challenge, I was a complete beginner to design tools and online resources. But through dedication and persistence, I gradually honed my skills and built up my knowledge base. As I completed each of the 100 problem statements, I gained a deeper understanding of the nuances of UI design, from typography and color theory to layout and user experience. By the time I finished the challenge, I had transformed from a novice to a skilled designer, with a wealth of knowledge at my fingertips. The experience was a true test of my durability and commitment, but it was also incredibly rewarding. I'm excited to continue pushing myself and exploring new challenges as I build my career in UI design.

About Me

Hey, if you're a recruiter just scanning for keywords, I got you covered.

When it comes to brainstorming, you'll find me using Miro to map out my ideas. For wireframing and design, I'm a big fan of both Adobe XD and Figma. When it's time to develop websites, I rely on React and its frameworks like NextJS. I also have experience in developing mobile apps using React Native. To keep my thoughts organized , I use NotesApp (which I actually built myself!). And of course, I collaborate with my team using tools like Slack and Discord.

For the rest of you: I'm passionate about creating products that focus on user experience and performance. I love working on the front-end of things and collaborating with designers. That's how I discovered my love for wireframes and personas, and started my journey into the world of UI/UX. I've been lucky enough to work on a variety of UI/UX projects as both a developer and a designer. Having experience on both sides of the process helps me bridge the gap between teams and make the handover process smoother. When I'm not working, you can find me doing a few things. I love watching football, playing football, and even gaming (mostly football games, of course). I also like to tend to my garden, tinker with my PC (which I built myself!), and write for Plain English and Bootcamp. And did I mention football? It's kind of my thing.

As part of my journey in learning UI/UX design, I took on the challenge of redesigning my own website from scratch. After completing the design and development phases, I realized that the deployment process was a bit cumbersome. At the time, the only way to deploy updates was to manually merge code into the master branch and then deploy using the command line interface (CLI). I began researching alternative deployment methods to simplify the process and make it more efficient.
