About Me
Hi! I’m Ashley, a UX designer from Hawaii currently living in Las Vegas. I am passionate about understanding how people experience their everyday life. I love providing solutions to real world problems with digital product and service design.
Like design, my background is in both science and interacting with people. I have a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and appreciate the rigorous research and analytical skills I gained from this field of study. I then continued my career for over 6 years by helping small to midsize companies build their organizations. My clients in Hawaii included companies from retail, hospitality, and healthcare. I conducted dozens of interviews a week and provided detailed pipeline reports and hiring data. Understanding people’s diverse motivations, beliefs, and talents is something I also apply in my design research.
Identifying product design opportunities through the study of people has become my primary professional objective. To complement my skills in research along with my experience in interacting with people, I recently completed the CareerFoundry UX Program. This enabled me to understand and execute the complete user-centered design process. I am currently looking for full- or part-time opportunities as an entry-level designer.
