Hi! 👩🏻‍💻 I'm Danielle, a UX/UI designer with a track record of enhancing user engagement, and a particular focus on creating digital experiences that feel empathetic and fundamentally human. My ethical concerns with content consumption and digital dominance motivate me to contribute meaningfully to digital products, adding value rather than unnecessary screen time. Proficient in Figma, I've used the program to craft a compelling 𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗼 (see contact info in bio to view) which showcases my skills in design thinking, heuristic evaluation, competitive analysis, user testing, interface design, UX writing, interaction design and high-fidelity prototyping.I’m a member of the The Interaction Design Foundation and spend my free time making art, taking photos and figuring out how to optimise the usability of our kitchen👩🏻‍🍳 I have an impressive academic background in 𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 receiving a distinction for my honours dissertation as well as 3 undergraduate awards and a scholarship. For the past three years, I’ve worked as a 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿 for a local personal stylist where I introduced a cohesive, recognisable visual style across Instagram content and produced intriguing video content, resulting in a 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 in followers during my first year. I have experience performing under pressure and collaborating on paid partnerships, aligning brand goals with user needs. User Experience and User Interface Design is a natural progression of the skills I currently possess - 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 - and a fitting destination for where I see my skills developing and myself growing and thriving.
