I have switched my career to UX Design and I am looking forward to utilizing my skills and knowledge to create impactful solutions that keep a perfect balance between the business goals and the user needs and provide value for both.
In the last two years, I have invested my time and energy in intensive self-study, online courses, and lots of practice to increase my value as a UX professional.
My background in Project Management and Business Development has provided me with a unique perspective and problem-solving approach that sets me apart from others.
