As a Junior Designer on the Fintech website, I collaborate with designers and cross-functional teams to enhance the user experience. I design Experience Maps, User Journeys, User Flows, and a Sitemap, aligning designs with user needs.

I'm dedicated to refining my skills and exploring new design horizons. I aim to enhance my expertise in user research, usability testing, and staying updated on design trends and technologies.
I approach my career with an open mind and a strong desire to contribute meaningfully to projects. I'm particularly excited about opportunities that allow me to apply my design skills and collaborate with cross-functional teams. My expectations align with roles that offer:

Hands-On Design Involvement: I'm eager to work in roles where I can have a direct impact on the design process, from conceptualization to execution. I thrive when I'm able to delve into the creative aspects of projects, collaborating closely with fellow designers and stakeholders to deliver exceptional user experiences.

Opportunities for Continuous Learning: I believe in the importance of professional growth and staying updated with emerging design trends and technologies. I'm keen on roles that foster a culture of learning, enabling me to expand my skill set and contribute at my best potential.

Collaboration and Cross-Functional Communication: I thrive in environments where teamwork and communication are prioritized. Collaborating with developers, product managers, and other team members is essential to me, as it leads to more well-rounded and successful design solutions.

Diverse and Impactful Projects: Although not compulsory as I understand the depth that comes from working on only one project in one industry for long term in an in-house design role, but I'm drawn to roles that offer the chance to work on a variety of projects across different industries. Projects that make a positive impact on users' lives resonate with me, as I find deep satisfaction in contributing to solutions that solve real-world challenges.

While I'm open to new challenges, there are certain aspects that might not align with my strengths and preferences. Specifically, I'd prefer to avoid roles that are overly focused on repetitive tasks without room for creative input. Similarly, roles that are entirely disconnected from design or do not emphasize user-centered design practices may not be the best fit for my expertise and aspirations.

In essence, I'm seeking roles that allow me to leverage my design skills, engage in collaborative efforts, and contribute to projects that drive positive change. My ideal role is one where creativity meets impact, and where I can continue to develop as a Product Designer.
