About Me
Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoying the golden hour โจ
Hi, I'm Mikah! I love exercising my creativity and problem-solving skills through UX/UI design.
I strategize UX & deliver visuals and UI for software, websites, and mobile apps.
My career in tech started as a software engineer but over time, I became more fascinated about UX. My interest in it only grew deeper since then, and finally switched to a full-time UX/UI designer role.

WORK STYLE
๐คย Collaborative
I'm effective at communicating design ideas and rationale, whether it's to my tech colleagues, or non-designer stakeholders, making sure we're aligned on requirements and project scope, plus suggesting more efficient ways of working.
๐ง ย Open-minded
It's not my way or the highway. I'm open to feedback and suggestions, and I take them into consideration when I design.
๐ดย Adaptable
I'm quick at picking up new tools and technologies, learning skills/concepts, and incorporating them into my process.
๐ย Autonomous
You can rely on me to deliver the requirements with little to no supervision while keeping you posted on the progress!
When I'm not designing, I'm either booking my next trip, dancing, watching an anime/movie/documentary, or listening to some music. I'm keen on participating in creative projects of all sorts so please feel free to get in touch!
