About

Hi, my name is Stella

I’m a former retail manager-turned-UX designer passionate about human-centered design. For a while, I thought the best way to merge my business major and psychology minor was to make my way into an HR position. Getting a taste of management made me reconsider: did I really want to be an HR manager or did I just feel like I should want it?

When I first learned about UX design, I was intrigued. Bad UX plagued my workplace, resulting in lots of angry customers and frustrated employees. I’ve always been a problem-solver, but when devices weren’t working, all I could do was manually check our inventory. It definitely wasn’t a solution. I enrolled in multiple courses to get a taste of UX: Design101, UI Design, and finally an immersive UX Design course that took me 8 months to complete. I want to apply my newfound skills and knowledge to solve existing problems and create products that are more accessible and enjoyable to use.
