2018-2020  UI/UX Designer — Creative Studio “Nova”  

The graduation project was to create an e-learning prototype for KSD Groep. The company had an e-learning tool that was called Viper. Unfortunately this tool was erroneous and they needed to re-develop it again but this time with the latest technologies around. I was part of this project and my task was to research and come up with a prototype using micro-services. In the end I was able to deliver a prototype that included 2 courses and an exam module for the students. I used technologies such as:

• Worked on mobile app UI, branding, and early product MVPs.
• Learned to balance creativity with usability.
• Designed more than 30 landing pages for local businesses.
