The name is Ruuka.
Having 8+ years of professional frontend experience working with various CMS and e-commerce platforms, I have an intimate understanding of how users interact and navigate around the web.
I’m passionate about web development and improving web products by finding creative design and technical solutions to complex problems. My design process involves using detailed user analysis to strategically align both the desired customer journey and my clients’ business needs.
