I do UX design and creative strategy (catchall idk) at a small design & development studio. We rule so if anyone needs a new site for their company hmu haha.
I got here roundabout and have worked in art, farmers markets, and nonprofit comms before this — I think having a diverse work bg (and being a good writer) is super helpful for what I do.

i’m currently doing a 6 month online bootcamp in UX/UI design and will be looking for new jobs come september. coming from a marketing background that i didn’t super enjoy, i’ve found that ux/product design satisfies my desire to be empathetic, communicate and work in a team and tap into my creative side. it’s also really nice that you can pick which sectors you’re into and then create your portfolio case studies to match those types of companies. also if you’re looking to do work with a feeling of purpose or helping others, you can use your role as a designer to advocate for accessible & inclusive design which is pretty cool imo

I actually have a portfolio with most of my creative projects! I've done brandings, worked with creative coding and AI, made some fonts, created some packaging concepts and the list goes on :D
I mainly work as a product designer, so when i've started studying art direction on the master programm in my alma mater, it gave me an opportunity to explore my creativity and learn more about visual metaphors and ways of conveying ideas. It felt like breathing the fresh air of freedom, and i liked to work on passion projects when you aren't limited with the demands of your customer.

I graduated in animation, did a bunch of different things in design, illustration, photography etc. etc as a freelancer and through full-time jobs designing, eventually falling in love with print design and art direction. I enjoy world-building to an extent, so that thought process really comes in handy for print production and building brands for companies.

Even if you have other creative pursuits that require your brain to work, it’s fun to have one that requires very little thought or attention. I started crocheting a couple years ago and it’s perfect while sitting in front of the TV or listening to a podcast or just zoning out. Makes me feel productive even as my brain melts out my ears, and makes me feel creative even when I’m not doing any cooler, more challenging projects that require more of my energy.
