About Me

Junior UX Designer

Having graduated with a film and business degree from USC, I always had an eye for aesthetic, narrative-building, and design. Now as a certified Junior UX Designer from Columbia University's online UX/UI bootcamp. I strive to create intuitive, engaging, and efficient digital experiences. I am currently seeking entry-level junior UX designer jobs. As a team player, I am skilled in project organization, leadership, and collaborating with others to create the best possible product.
