Graduation Behind. Dedication Ahead.
I recently graduated in Media Studies with a focus on Emerging Media and continued my path with UX/UI design training. What drives me most in design is empathy. In every project, I listen closely to users and translate their needs into interfaces that feel intuitive and human-centered. I am looking for a role where I can contribute to meaningful projects, learn from experienced teams, and continue growing as a designer.
