A little bit about me:
My name is Uswa, and I am a Graphic designer with a deep interest in UI-UX design. After being introduced to the world of Adobe in 2020, I developed a fascination for Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign as these tools were the foundation of my creative journey. Since then, I have worked on a variety of design projects ranging from branding, logo, to app and web design.
I find joy in creating compelling and meaningful designs, and building connections with clients and designers along the way!
In my spare time, I enjoy art journaling, DIY projects, and watching dramas and series. I am constantly inspired by the world around me, particularly florals, botanicals and architecture, and I strive to incorporate that inspiration in my designs.
