UX Designer

I worked with a Senior UX/UI Designer, together we worked on building products. From user research, wireframing, and prototyping. To finally designing high-fidelity mockups. I learned the process of designing a product from start to finish. One of the most important skills I took away from this apprenticeship was developing my own design workflow.

Skills

I love doing User Research and prototyping. I believe that is the most important step in the process.


Visual Design

After I conduct User Testing & Research I take pride in turning my wireframes into something beautiful.


Development

I even will lend a hand with front end development if needed. I know my way around HTML, CSS, and JS.
