Summary

As I continue my education, I've found myself interested in new trends and patterns in the design industry that I can get my hands on, as I like to have some hands-on experience. The more knowledge I can gain about trends, the more personable I feel with users, and I can gain a sense of why that product is made for them. I am a UX and Graphic Design student with a big heart who takes into consideration our users to make sure I understand them, and that they are not just numbers. I'm a dedicated UX and graphic design student with a passion for crafting intuitive user experiences and visually compelling designs. I have a strong foundation in design principles, and I enjoy staying on top of the latest industry trends and technologies. I thrive in collaborative environments and love working with diverse teams to solve complex problems through user-centered design methodologies. With a creative mindset and hands-on experience, I'm eager to contribute to projects that challenge me and make a meaningful impact in the field of UX and design.
