Experience

UX Design Student  - Nov’22 - Current

Focused on making apps more fun to get users coming back. As a student, I’ve tailored my designs to not only be informative and functional, but also playful and fun to use, as I believe that will keep users more engaged while using the app. I also incorporated techniques such as sticker sheets and color theory in order to make sure I can operate myself well into any company’s brand identity and design workflow.

Freelance Pixel Artist - Dec’19 - Current

I’ve been working making pixel art animations for a variety of clients to financially support myself. I’ve had to find clients myself, negotiate pricing and the amount of work needed, and get commissions done in a timely manner. By prioritizing efficiency and practicing techniques to make myself get work done faster, I’ve regularly increased my yearly revenue by around 15% per year.

Tablesafe, Feb ‘19 - Nov ‘19

As a technical support representative, I helped talk to our clients and helped new clients deal with any issues they had installing our product. I was also in charge of managing returned items and sending out new products. Alongside my team, we helped install 8 new clients, increased relations with older clients, and increased sales revenue by around 10%.
