About

UI/UX Designer with front-end development experience, specialising in translating user needs into clean, functional interfaces that get built correctly. Spent 8 months designing production-ready UI for a European property and hotel management software company, where building the interfaces myself gave me a deep understanding of what works, and what breaks, in real development environments. Proficient in Figma, design systems, and user-centered design principles, with the ability to deliver developer-ready handoffs or build directly in code.

Seeking remote UI/UX opportunities where design quality and implementation accuracy both matter.

Experience

UI/UX Designer & Front-End Developer at ZIMMERSOFTWARE KG (2025-06 – 2026-01)

Designed production-ready UI and developed front-end solutions for a European property and hotel management software company.

Designed developer-ready landing page concepts in Figma using Auto Layout and reusable component libraries, reducing design-to-development handoff friction and ensuring pixel-accurate implementation.
Extended the Property Management System's back-end by designing and integrating new database modules using PHP and SQL, supporting the rollout of additional product features.
Designed multiple UI pages for a hotel property management system (PMS) serving non-technical end users, applying usability principles focused on clarity, readability, and intuitive navigation, balancing business requirements with a clean, minimal visual direction.
Led early-stage UI redesign concepts for the C25 system update, modernizing the interface while maintaining continuity for existing users.
Improved platform performance by auditing and refactoring legacy CSS using Browser DevTools, resolving layout inconsistencies and achieving measurably faster load times and smoother cross-browser rendering.
Conducted smoke testing on new software releases to validate core functionality and flag critical issues before deployment, supporting a stable release pipeline.
Designed digital marketing assets and supported internal communication workflows, contributing to both visual brand consistency and operational team efficiency.
