Wow! I will definitively add these modifications. Thanks a lot!

"I’m focused on giving the easiest experience to the user on all of their devices."
Powers Gray offered a correction that might seem weird to a non-native speaker so I thought it might be helpful to get an explanation.
English doesn't have a non-gendered singular pronoun. You refer to people as either "he," or "she." People have historically defaulted to the masculine pronoun, but there's a movement to eliminate this.
The easiest way to eliminate the gendered pronoun is to do what Powers suggested and replace it with "they," or "their." This is technically grammatically incorrect, since you're talking about a single nongendered subject, but it's a very natural thing that native speakers do all the time.
I personally try to rewrite sentences such that you avoid the quirk altogether: "I'm focused on giving the easiest experience to every user on every device," or some such thing. This is probably one of the more difficult quirks of English right now, but it's good to be aware of because some people (including clients/employers!) care very passionately about it.
Sweet portfolio!
Wow, that was really kind of you. I'm thankful you're a part of DN.
Isn't likes working grammatically correct instead of likes to work ?

Nice work. I’ve taken the liberty of minimally editing your About section so that it looks like something a native speaker might write:
I’m a 26 year old designer who likes to work with hyperlinks, sliders, and dropdown menus. These past months I’ve been working on my side project Collect.io, and Dartagnan at Bmobile. I’ve worked in different design fields from web design to motion design, mainly as part of a small agency. I’m focused on giving the easiest experience to the user on all of his devices. I like to research, and organise the results to create wireframes and prototypes.
In my search for great adventure, I'm looking for a full-time designer job in an agency with an awesome team, where I will fulfill my appetite for design through challenging projects in North America.
I'm one of those who think that designers should code—not actually do the development, but at least understand how everything works. That's why I'm developing my front end skills. I have also some 3D design knowledge that I want to improve because, you know, VR is coming.
When I’m not lurking on Reddit, I enjoy watching movies like Fast and Furious, not getting any better at Hearthstone, doing sports like Badminton (double mainly) and other stuff.
