A goal without a plan is just a wish.
-Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Author of The Little Prince
Hi, I’m Gigi. As a UX designer I’m all about the details that go into making a great idea an actual reality.
My previous experience as an art & English teacher in Japan, a travel agent in the fast fashion industry, and graphic designer at a comic book publisher have taught me the empathy, planning skills, and aesthetic abilities necessary as a UX designer.
I’m here to do the dirty work of user research, ideation, prototyping, and thoughtful UI design so the end result looks beautifully (and effortlessly) packaged.
