Howdy, I’m Thea!

I’m not just about pixels and interfaces; I am a passionate UX designer committed to creating meaningful change.

I’m on a mission to design user experiences that can change lives, whether it’s reducing our ecological footprint, empowering marginalized communities, or improving healthcare accessibility. Through my skills in user experience design, I want to leverage user-centered design to bridge the gap between technology and these critical issues, ensuring that everyone can benefit from well-designed, inclusive and sustainable solutions.

I have assisted patients as a recreational therapy assistant, educated and mentored students in underserved school districts as a reading tutor, and contributed to a smooth processing of patient lab results. Each role had different responsibilities, but in all these areas my work is characterized by a deep understanding of the unique challenges and needs of the target user.

Eventually, I realized that my passion for problem-solving and improving user experience extended beyond healthcare. That’s when I discovered UX/UI design. The transition into UX design was a natural progression, driven by the desire to design solutions that could reach a broader audience and make a positive impact on the lives of individuals from all walks of life.

In the field of UX/UI, I see the opportunity to use my empathetic thinking, research background, and more to build positive connections between people and technology. I find great satisfaction in knowing that my designs have the potential to make someone's life easier or more enjoyable. It's a different kind of impact than what I would have had in healthcare, but it's still meaningful.

With this diverse background, I bring not only my professional experience but also my personal journey on the table, and I’m committed to leveraging this unique blend of skills and perspectives to make a improve people’s lives, whether it's by designing a user-friendly app or creating an engaging website. I believe that user-centered design can be a powerful tool for addressing these critical challenges, and I am committed to making a positive impact through my work. My goal is to create intuitive, accessible, and innovative solutions that drive progress.
