Design is a sensory experience, which can convey and express emotions when words fail us.
Hi there, I'm Alecia!
I am a creative, detail-oriented photographer and graphic designer turned UX designer with several years of specialized experience in digital and print media.
Highly artistic and curious, always looking for emerging concepts and trends by analyzing how things move, connect and flow. When starting a new project, I utilize empathy to try to understand the “who” we are designing for, the “why” of what we are trying to do, and the “what” of the thing we are trying to solve.
My journey began when I took a summer graphic design course at Parson's Paris. They didn't teach UX design, but their teaching methodologies were very similar. Upon my return home, I started learning the theory and design processes of user experience through The Interaction Design Foundation, Udemy masterclasses, and Adobe XD masterclasses. My education culminated in completing the Google UX Design professional certification.
In college I took a few courses in 3D computer design, using Rhino 3D and POV-Ray, and became hooked on digital. The field of UX called to me because I love designing meaningful products, solving puzzles and problems, and creating artifacts that bring delightful to others.
When I am not designing, you can find me behind a camera, digging in my garden, spoiling my fur-babies, playing my Ps4, or trying my hand at the culinary arts.
