UX/UI and Digital Designer | Currently Seeking Opportunities
Hey there! Samantha is my name, and decoding user problems is my game .
I'm a playful and inquisitive designer who has 6+ years of experience in the tech industry, researching, designing, and prototyping user interfaces, native apps and creating graphics for advertising and branding.
Having prior knowledge of front-end frameworks, I often find myself being the rainbow bridge between design and development, resulting in products that are not only functional and aesthetically beautiful in design, but engaging to users as well.

MORE ABOUT ME
WHAT ATTRACTED ME TO UX DESIGN
As a former community organizer and aspiring web developer, user experience design appeared to be the perfect marriage between understanding people and directly influencing the quality of the technology that is being developed for them. Having been a social advocate for a number of years with a passion for psychology, I found it natural to listen to users in a way that was both empathetic and active. I recognize that feedback based on user experience is irreplaceable and I delight in designing with a mindfulness for aesthetic beauty and a focus on user needs.
WHAT I'M CURRENTLY WORKING ON
Currently, I am deep diving into the world of information architecture via Louis Rosenfield's "Information Architecture for the Web and Beyond". I am also always constantly evolving my UI design skill-set to further ensure that I deliver pixel-perfect designs any client would love.
WHAT I'M CURIOUS ABOUT
I am curious about learning more about AR and VR technologies and how they will be integrated into our daily lives. We are in the middle of an exciting pivot in our technological advancements and it would be my pride and joy to be one of the front runners in designing enjoyable and worthwhile experiences for people of all walks of life with any level of capability.
