Dear Hiring Manager,
Good UX is the part nobody notices and good UI is the part everyone feels, and I care about both. At Solstice Travel I rebuilt a booking interface that tested badly and turned it into one users described as effortless, while tightening the visual language across the product. Pairing usability craft with visual polish is what I would bring to your design team.
A UX/UI role asks you to hold usability and aesthetics in the same hand, and that balance is where I am strongest. I run the usability work, including flows, hierarchy and accessibility, so the interface is genuinely easy to use, and I bring the visual craft, including type, spacing and a consistent component language, so it is a pleasure to look at. I work within a design system and help it grow rather than treating each screen as a one off.
At Solstice Travel I reworked the multi step booking interface that was scoring poorly in usability tests. By simplifying the step structure, clarifying the visual hierarchy and standardising the components into a shared library, I improved task success in testing from 68 percent to 91 percent and cut average booking time by a quarter. The component library I built is now used across three other product areas.
Your advert mentions maturing the design system as the product grows, which is work I find genuinely satisfying. I would welcome a conversation about how I would balance system consistency with the needs of individual flows. Are you open to a short call?
Yours sincerely, Noah Castellano
