Professional introduction
Aquaticat -- UI/UX Designer and Developer.
A multidisciplinary Interactive Media Design student at Algonquin College with a background that bridges UI/UX design, motion graphics, and front-end development. I bring a geometric, contemplative, and layered approach to every project, using precise language and clean typography to turn complex requirements into intuitive digital experiences.
Career focus
My work spans the full product lifecycle -- from user research and wireframing through high-fidelity prototyping and production code. I am equally comfortable crafting pixel-perfect design systems in Figma and building accessible, performant web applications with TypeScript and modern CSS.
I thrive where design and engineering intersect, and I am looking for opportunities to contribute my cross-disciplinary skills in a collaborative team environment.
