UX/UI Designer

Los Angeles, CA, USA
I'm a UX designer with a background in Interior Architecture and Exhibition design, which means I come to the world of UX with experience using strong visual designs, thoughtful information architecture, and hours of user empathy in order to create spaces that appeal strongly to users. I’m a thoughtful thinker with a skill set in creative design, visual communication, and the flexibility to work with all kinds clients. I did not become a designer to only become a designer. I will use my passion as motivation, take my skills as tools, and make changes in lives as a designer.
