Profile: https://flows.cv/marinawatanabe

I am a UI/UX and product designer focused on understanding user needs and turning them into clear, practical design solutions. Through hands-on project work, I design and prototype digital products in Figma, moving ideas from research and wireframes to interactive, testable experiences.

My experience leading end-to-end case study projects and creating bilingual content has strengthened my ability to communicate clearly, collaborate across roles, and design with accessibility and context in mind.

I’m passionate about design and enjoy turning ideas into thoughtful, usable digital experiences.
