About Me
Hello!✨
My name is Louise and I am a user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) designer!
Being able to understand and empathize with others is something I really value, and UX design and research allow me to focus on that in my career. I am interested in creating accessible, interactive experiences that will have a positive impact on others, especially those who may not have a large voice.
I love continuous learning and putting skills into practice, whether it be through new projects and experiences, or by applying them in my everyday life.
In my free time I can be found trying new recipes, hanging out with my gecko, journaling, or learning 3D modeling!
