Senior Ui/Ux Designer

Good day,

My name is Usman Ndako and I am from Nigeria. I am excited to apply for the UI/UX Designer  position at your company. With over 7 years plus of experience in UX design and a passion for creating intuitive and user-centered products, I am confident that I would make a valuable addition to your team.

I am fluent in English and I have also served in vast globally distributed teams of Engineers, Designers, CX Professionals and Growth Experts.

I have had the privilege of working with international businesses, start-ups and individuals in the US, Germany, Australia and Israel, in both full-time/remote and contract capacity.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with various industries and businesses across the globe, including healthcare, finance, e-commerce, and more. My experience has taught me the importance of taking a collaborative approach to design, where the user's needs and business objectives are at the forefront of every decision.

I have a proven track record of delivering high-quality designs that improve the user experience and increase engagement. I am proficient in using various design tools such as Sketch, Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and InVision, among others. Additionally, I am experienced in conducting user research, creating user personas, wireframing, prototyping, and testing.

One of my most significant achievements was leading the redesign of a FinTech mobile application called Kippa, that increased user engagement by 25%. By leveraging user feedback and incorporating industry best practices, we were able to create a more intuitive and user-friendly product.

As a Product Designer, I am committed to continuous learning and staying up-to-date with the latest design trends and technologies. I am confident that my experience, skills, and passion for design would make me an asset to your team.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to your company.
