Location: Sunnyvale, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/sharmanne

I’m a graphic designer with a growing focus on UX/UI design, passionate about creating visually compelling and user-focused digital experiences. My background in graphic design has given me a strong foundation in visual hierarchy, branding, typography, and layout design, and I’m now actively expanding my skills in responsive web design and mobile app UI to create interfaces that are not only beautiful but also functional across devices.

While I have not yet launched a product, I’m working toward that goal by honing my skills in wireframing, prototyping, and user-centered design principles. I enjoy exploring how thoughtful design can simplify complex ideas, enhance usability, and make digital products more engaging. My approach is rooted in blending aesthetic appeal with strategic purpose—ensuring that each design decision aligns with both the user’s needs and the brand’s identity.

I’m proficient in tools such as Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite, and I’m constantly exploring new design trends, techniques, and technologies to stay ahead in this evolving industry.

Outside of design, I’m passionate about running, paddle boarding, camping, and reading fantasy and thriller novels. My love for movement, nature, and storytelling fuels my creativity and inspires the way I approach my work—bringing fresh ideas and perspectives to every project.

I’m eager to connect with other designers, recruiters, and organizations looking to create impactful, user-centered digital experiences. Let’s collaborate to bring bold, thoughtful, and memorable designs to life.
