I'm a UX Designer with a background in graphic design, marketing, advertising, web and print design, and branding & identity. I recently started my UX journey with UX research and UX/UI Design. I have been enjoying getting to humanize technology. My portfolio is currently a Work In Progress, but please feel free to reach out to me for a virtual coffee chat, and I can get your contact info so that I am able to send you a link to my digital portfolio when it launches soon!
