Hello, I'm Lulamile

Crafting a future where simplicity and impact go
hand in hand.
About
It’s the little things that make a big difference
My UX/UI design experience has convinced me that a good project is not only a good design, goal and an expected outcome, but also a social, economic and environmental commitment.
I aspire to be a part of projects whose complexity defies the spirit of an engineer. Seeking creative and challenging tasks, to work in a motivated team of committed and enthusiastic colleagues. Friendly and open nature, driven, creative, with a motivated approach to tasks with pro activity as a worker and human being.
I'm always looking for efficient and technical solutions that integrate innovation and methodology to build great things.
