Work Experience

UI/UX Designer

DeCareer Builders Academy (DCBA) | Full-time

May 2025 - Present

Remote

I worked on the Web Optimization Team where I improved the existing platform, shipped new features and executed targeted revamps. I delivered more than 85 production ready screens across multiple user groups and led design for key additions like the Referral Program, Admin Dashboard and several section overhauls. I reduced friction in core flows after usability checks with real users and strengthened consistency by contributing twenty two reusable components to the internal design system. I produced the user flows, wireframes, prototypes and interaction specs that improved developer handoff and supported tight iteration cycles with product, BAs and engineering.

  • Delivered more than 85 production ready screens across student, instructor and admin workflows.
  • Designed 6 major feature modules including Course Management, Content Upload, Payment History, Dashboard, Referral Program and Platform Settings.
  • Reduced user confusion in two core flows following usability checks with 10 real users which led to better navigation and clearer actions.
  • Contributed 22 reusable components to the internal design system including form inputs, cards, navigation patterns and layout structures.
  • Created user flows, wireframes, prototypes and interaction documentation that improved developer handoff accuracy during sprints.
  • Worked closely with product, BAs and engineering in an async environment and supported rapid iteration cycles based on feedback from internal teams and real users.

I completed more than seven client projects covering SaaS dashboards, mobile apps, EdTech landing pages and service platforms. I handled full UX from user journeys to wireframes, high fidelity UI and developer ready prototypes. I built compact design systems with reusable components, variants, grids and type tokens that kept execution consistent. I improved onboarding and checkout flows for clients and saw clear gains in completion rates based on their reports. I delivered responsive web and mobile designs with scalable components that cut down revision cycles and supported branding choices to keep visuals aligned across all touchpoints.
