I’m Gift, a UI/UX designer with a love for blending tech and creativity. My journey started in software development, where I sharpened my technical chops and got to see the inner workings of the product lifecycle up close. But it wasn’t long before I discovered my real passion: designing experiences that put people first.

What makes me different?Having experience in both development and design gives me a unique edge. I see design as the bridge between innovation and inclusivity—making sure that the latest tech isn’t just cool but also accessible to everyone. My design philosophy is all about conscious choices, making sure every user feels valued and every interaction has meaning.
‍
Driven by curiosity,
Design isn’t just a job for me; it’s how I make sense of the world. I’m always curious, always asking questions—like, how could this be better? This curiosity is my fuel, pushing me to create digital experiences that are not only functional but also bring a little joy and magic into everyday life.
‍
A Broad Canvas of ExperienceI’ve been lucky to work across industries like healthcare, education, and SaaS, which has given me a well-rounded view of different user needs and business goals. Whether it’s designing for patients, students, or business professionals, I’m all about crafting solutions that speak to a diverse audience.
‍
My missionAt the heart of it all, my goal is to create digital magic—experiences that empower people and bring them closer together, no matter where they are. I want my designs to do more than just meet needs; I want them to spark a little joy and maybe even some wonder.
