UX Designer

PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Since starting my journey in the field of human computer interaction, I’ve developed an insatiable hunger for learning how to craft the most efficient and pleasing experience for users. I consider myself a UX generalist but I especially enjoy creating personas, mockups and prototypes. I pride myself on having the ability to pay attention to details while never losing sight of the overall picture. As a collaborator, I value open communication and champion a democratic process towards selecting the perfect solution for users. EDUCATION
