Hi, I’m Shakie — a senior UX designer blending product thinking, visual storytelling, and hands-on AI experience.

I design intuitive digital experiences for mobile and web, lead design direction on cross-functional teams, and work with AI researchers to fine-tune models that solve real design challenges.
I’ve also helped build internal tools and launched small product initiatives from 0 to 1.

Outside of design, I bring the same energy into my other passions — I’m a certified LesMills Body Combat instructor, a certified floral designer by the AIFD(American Institute of Floral Designers). I believe good design comes from living curiously — and I try to do just that.
