For the last three years, I've had the amazing journey of working with adorable dogs, using the power of positive reinforcement techniques to help them become their best selves. It's been such a rewarding experience that has taught me so much about understanding behaviours, motivations, and the art of clear communication to bring out the best in my furry friends.
Now, I'm excited to share that I'm venturing into UX Design! Drawing from my background in working with dogs, where creating strong bonds and understanding behaviours is key, I'm stepping into the realm of crafting user experiences that are not only intuitive but also deeply human-centered.
My most recent achievement was creating a case study for an app that connects recently arrived immigrants in Canada. To create this app, I:
• Researched and analyzed users' motivations, behaviours, and pain points.
• Sketched possible solutions.
• Wireframed and prototyped using Figma.
• Conducted usability tests.
