Excited to create great design, targeting an entry-level position.
What motivates me is the opportunity to solve problems by designing brilliant websites, UIs, and graphics as a career. I possess aptitudes in user experience (UX), programming, and design, as well as hands-on experience in user research and interaction design gained through coursework and experiential learning opportunities. I am excited to find a position that will allow me to learn from others (mentor/apprentice) and experience a diversity of design problems.
