Nooch Vegan Market (Side Project)
This project is and will forever be special for me since it’s what made me a UX Designer and helped me realize that I wanted to do this for a living.
Thanks for being here!
I’m passionate and curious about human behavior and interaction. I have worked on big corporations to non-profits, and since switching careers to UX Design I’ve been eager to learn through mentorship and hard work.
I am a UX Designer, with a background in Marketing and Advertising.
I’ve always been passionate about customer behavior and interaction, it was my favorite topic in college and I always knew I wanted to follow this path. After years in Marketing, I realized I had forgotten about my passion for helping users achieve goals while consuming a product or navigating a website. I gave UX a chance and found myself in it.
I believe that my experience in marketing, together with my strive for exemplary work following UX best practices helps me thrive in current/future job opportunities.
When not designing, I am busy running around my baby daughter. Being a mom has changed me in a way I never thought it could. It also teaches you a lot about resilience having to work with only 2 hours of sleep ;)
I love to enjoy some good food - being a “foodie” myself. I also consider myself a cat lady and have three adorable (if I say so myself) fur babies. I also love to exercise and learn more about nutrition and fitness.

I am currently looking for another job opportunity, so I would love to hear from you if you liked my work. Also, I am always looking forward to meeting new people, so please feel free to reach out :)
