I'd been working as a part of the design team to build their SaaS application. It was a huge project at the first place which was already developed and running. I mainly fixed some major and minor issues in the system along with the collaboration with other designers. It was fun and challenging. I learned lots of advanced things about design while working with this team.

The company developed a platform for social media named "Happydemy" and I designed the first version of the prototype. It was a huge and challenging project for me. I had to research a lot about social media platforms, their technology and users behaviours to make it impactful. A great project for me to learn lots of things.

I'm doing freelance in Upwork as a UX Designer. It's the best platform for any professional who wish to do remote works.

I designed the UI & UX for this company website. I faced several challenges here this was a great time for me.

I started my freelancing career as a contractor and UX designer in former oDesk.

Envato was a great platform for me to explore my creativity.
