Design

I can conduct information design and screen development for mobile applications and websites, convert them into designs, and organize documentation. Since I am also a developer, I excel at designs that consider component and implementation requirements. UI design is my main profession, and I enjoy researching the characteristics of tools like Figma and Sketch. I can also create logos, motion graphics, and illustrations using Adobe products.

Develop

I can build the frontend of websites using HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I can also build blogs and news sites using WordPress and Headless CMS. My favorite framework is Astro, and this portfolio site is also built with Astro.
