Hello! I'm Allison, an aspiring UX/UI researcher and designer.

About Me

I am an aspiring designer with a strong foundation in information design and user-centered design principles. I create wireframes, prototypes, and interactive mockups using tools like Figma, and I conduct user research to develop personas and apply design thinking to solve complex problems. I also enjoy front-end coding and have hands-on experience with HTML and CSS, as demonstrated in this portfolio!

With an interest in sociology, I integrate an understanding of human and social behavior into my work. This background enhances my ability to conduct user-centered research, particularly when engaging with diverse groups from varying social contexts, ensuring that designs are both empathetic and relevant to a broad range of users. I am eager to apply my academic knowledge and interpersonal skills to real-world design challenges.

I’m a big fan of creative and retro design! But I also keep up to date on current design trends. Take a look at some of my projects below!
