I'm a young UX/UI designer with certifications from the University of Michigan, Meta, and Google. I began my career as a freelancer for a SaaS startup. Since then, I have been working as a freelancer professionally, both on my own and on several websites like Freelancer, Braintrust, and now Upwork. I love working for companies all around the world and would love to join your team! • I follow the "empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test, repeat" process • I believe in making good UX and UI affordable • I specialize in all things UX and UI - from start to finish. • Regular communication is the key to success • I bring what YOU want to life

Clean design. Consistent execution. Brand-focused content. I help businesses turn ideas and copy into polished, platform-ready social media assets using Canva and structured content systems. Most of my work involves: • Designing scroll-ready Instagram carousels and posts • Refining existing templates into cohesive brand visuals • Adapting assets across multiple formats • Maintaining layout consistency, spacing, and hierarchy • Delivering organised, ready-to-publish files I work comfortably within brand guidelines and creative direction, and I’m firm at enhancing pre-built content into something that feels intentional and elevated. I value clarity, speed, and clean execution. If you need a reliable designer who can handle volume without sacrificing quality, let’s connect.

We consider Lee-Anne to be exceptional in her grasp of this standard and she contributed to our own understanding in her time working with us. She is a gifted designer, able to distill complex ideas into clear designs. Unlike generative AI, she can produce a consistent well reasoned design across a domain of knowledge. She is a true teacher and trusted guide." "Lee-Anne is a pleasure to work with and provides both high-quality and fast/efficient work product." "Lee-Anne designed our whole app for us, and we loved to work together with her. We needed an expert who brings his/her own ideas to the table and is not afraid to provide critical feedback to our ideas if required - and she delivered. If the chance arises, we will choose Lee-Anne again." "Lee-Anne has a great sense of design, and we really liked her work. She communicates very well, and is delightful to work with. Our project ended early, but we will definitely hire her again when the project re-opens." "Amazing ux/ui designer, skilled, curious and passionate about solving users problems." "Lee-Anne is a very skilful designer, she made sure understood all our requirements and even went beyond doing her own research. The result was a fantastic design: visually and use. Sure we will be working again."
